First build - kitchen trolley

Submitted by John L on Sun, 09/29/2013 - 05:25

First build, mostly recycled from old bunk beds with much inspiration from this site!

Top is bed slats, rails and uprights are cut down bed parts. Base is mdf, shelf new pine boards. Pocket holes left uncovered as still amazed at construction with these things.

Took longer than it ought as slats were all round-edged so hand planed to make them more usable. Might take a weekend from new wood, including finish.

Painted by now-grown daughters to make a family project, everyone happy!

Estimated Cost
GBP 40 (USD 60) as wood was mostly reclaimed
Estimated Time Investment
Weekend Project (10-20 Hours)
Finish Used
Craig & Rose acrylic moonstone grey, (UK) Danish oil on bare wood.
