@scott_diy: Kitchen Island – Part 3 When I decided to build an inframe kitchen island, I knew the face frame would be the real test. I’d never made one before, and I’d heard all the stories—how precise it needs to be, how unforgiving solid oak can be if you get it wrong. But I love a challenge, and there’s something satisfying about taking a pile of rough timber and slowly transforming it into something sharp, square, and seamless. It took hours of careful cutting, trimming, and smoothing to get that white European oak just right. And not gonna lie—there were a few do-overs. But seeing it finally come together made every bit of effort worth it. This was also the first time I got hands-on with the thicknesser planer, 54v table saw, and 305mm mitre saw—and they didn’t disappoint. Every tool felt built for this kind of job. Still a long way to go, but this was a big milestone in the build. #DIY #homerenovation #ukhomerenovation #homeimprovement #cabinetmaking #faceframe #oak #woodworking #joinery #carpentry
