Island Cupboard Detail
Blum hinges work best with overlay doors, I have inset doors which made things a little tricky. I used square-headed screws on all cabinets and I didn't glue anything until I was sure it was O.K. I had to de-construct a few times to get drawer slides to work the way I wanted them to.
The oak for this cabinet came from our farm and a good friend and collegue, Linda Dean donated a log that was on her property too.

The walnut edges and handles make a good contrast to the oak and should be durable. I folded a piece of thin cardboard in half and drew the handle template, which I used on all the pull out shelves. |
| The end of the island cupboard has a light in it and also has some walnut detail. The column edges are at 37 degree angle and were not fun to make. A glass shelf allows the light to go to the bottom of the cabinet. |  |

My breadmaker will never take up counter space in the new kitchen. It will fit on the top shelf and be plugged in inside the cabinet. I will slide the shelf out to make bread and slide it back in when I'm done. The can opener, blender, pizza-maker, and electric skillet will live in here too. |
