Looks clean and functional. Nicely done. 

Ryan/// ~sigh~ I blew up another bowl. Moke told me "I made the inside bigger than the outside".

the house he lived in at the tine was only about 400 sq feet so he needed all the storage he could get.

Great project for a tiny house, It looks good Pottz.

it was a big help at the time,kitchen was very tiny. it's funny as small as the house was it had a walk in closet that was about 4'x 8' !

I expect cocobolo, myrtle wood, or high figured walnut from you now after all the other projects,. Not red oak and melamine. Function is more important that fancy sometimes. Nice job. 
Wonderful Job Pottz looks great as you always do.

This was a very good design, and great build. The melamine males for easy cleanups, handy anywhere food is prepared. 
A weekend project, that's pretty fast, would've taken me a week or two.
thanks OT. it was a real simple design. i did this about 7 years ago, today it would probably take 2 weekends. seems every year projects keep taking longer and longer !

That melamine with the timber actually looks quite presentable... Just goes to show that solid timber is not the b-all or end-all of neat looking furniture.

Did you buy him a microwave to fit... or did he have to scour the countryside with that cabinet stuffed in his boot (car not shoe) to get the right sized one?

If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD

Nice job pottz. You don't see many stands today with all the built in microwaves. Nice work.
thanks guys. he provided the microwave.

It's a real shame if he left it behind; it goes so well with your shop furniture.  You could have used it in your shop and added a kitchenette!  I really like how you edged the shelves with the oak.

Nice look Pottz. I hope he has a long extension cord to go with the wheels.
