Outdoor Kitchen Remodel

Panoramic view of the outdoor kitchen before we started.

This is the kitchen we started with.

Fortunately, we found enough good wood we could use to make the cabinet door frames.  We used a biscuit joiner to strengthen the union joints.

It was a really slow process because we only had access to two clamps so we could only do one doorframe at a time.

Dan did the routing for the frames.

Thanks to the help of many classmates collecting bamboo, we had enough bamboo to start the door designs.

Allan and I completed this frame together and it took us almost an hour!

Allison (sorry if I got your name wrong!) came up with the great idea to use black bamboo.

Here she is completing her frame.

Here we see everyone hard at work!

Dan designed the locks for each cabinet and I made the doorknobs using the bamboo nodes.

The back and sides of the cabinets were made out of whole pieces of bamboo.

We decided by consensus that each door would have a different design pattern.

I included a frame above the sink to hang pots to dry; I made this also out of bamboo.

Before we installed the doors, we redid the floor with reused bricks and made sure it was all leveled.

Thanks to everyone who helped to get this kitchen done!!
