    After two more long nights in the shop......

    I got the kitchen pieces done by the contest deadline of 11/24/2008. Even added a working light in the oven. Wood is red oak from LaVern in IN and red oak ply from Menards. Oven rack is a closet shelf. Sink is a restaurant pan. Doors and drawers are hardwood glue ups. Drawers are 4 cornered dovetailed with an omnijig. I am way tired now. If you like this I am asking for votes starting Monday. I will post a link on Monday once I know it. Someone told me to make Woodnet and SMC proud when I started the competition. Hope you all approve. Big thanks to Gary (GWCustom) for LOTS of advice during the build!

    Phenomenal job!! These turned out great! And, you have a fortune in materials invested. That faucet assemble alone is pricey. I like the finish. Very well done and good luck!

    Mike, that's the best "play" kitchen that I have ever seen!! You sure will have my vote. You have definitely given both Woodnet and SMC a reason to be proud to have you as a member, but more importantly you should be very proud of your accomplishments. Good luck.

    Ok, I'm an idiot. I forgot about your previous post, and was wondering how in the heck a wooden stove was going to work

    Great job, those look fantastic.
