Some of you may recall that I was searching for matching knobs to the ones below a while back  Have now fitted the units that were to go with them :    The face frames are from beech with doors and draw fronts in 22mm MR MDF , 6mm for the panels. Internal carcases are oak veneered MDF with oak faced ply backs. Drawboxes are dovetailed oak and run on Blum Tandem with Blumotion. The cupboard to the left of the B&O TV/computer houses a slide out for the printer Finish is my usual Dulux oil based eggshell. Handles have now been decided on, just awaiting delivery, they will be bar handles to match the Sub-zero fridge & winecooler but in solid Pewter to go with the other handles (temp masking tape handles in pics) The draw gaps are not set yet, will do them once the handles are on, catches still to be fitted to doors I know that I was cheaper than the company that made the original kitchen so the question is what do the members think my cost came out at and what would you have charged :?: I'm on the Kent/Surrey borders.

Missed that bit out, I glued the top up from 30x94 finish size oak, matches the thickness of the flammed granite and a small oak shelf in the kitchen. Just hope there is not too much movement as the total width across the grain is 1600mm, fixed it solid along the main front edge, slotted at the extreams.
I got South London hardwoods to run out the oak for the top and draws (12mm finish) as I was a bit pushed for time. I have had SLH make me up full length wide board worktops in the past and have been very happy with them, just glued this up myself because of the shape, old window cill had to come out to take the part that runs into the window reveal.
Finish is Danish oil.

New bloke here scratching a living doing jobs just like this. I'd charge about £6500 for this. I wonder whether I'm charging enough.
Whats the answer Jason?
Very nice job, by the way.

Very nice job Jason. When you say the doors are 22mm MDF and the panels 6mm, do you mean that the door panels are 6mm? Are the door frames in beech with MDF panels or solid MDF fielded out? Would be interested in more detail on the construction of the door and draw fronts having never worked in MDF.

Would be interested in more detail on the construction of the door and draw fronts having never worked in MDF. I guess what Jason means is that the door frames are made from strips of 22mm MDF grooved and jointed as if they were solid wood around a 6mm panel. At least, that's how I would do it! |

Thats right 22mm MR MDf cut into strips for the rails & styles, jointed using a profile & scribe cutter from Wealden and Flat 6mm MDF panels glued in. To reduce the number of components each door and draw above it was made as one then cut horizontally once the glue had dried, saves on clamps too Came out at £5800.00 |

What about the bead around the openings on the face frames, Jason?
Do you machine this on the componants before assembly or tack it on afterwards?

Thanks Jason. Looks lik I need to have a play with MDF. Normally use MFC, chipboard or trad materials. Not thought about using MDF the same way as wood. I've got some doors to make for the cupboards under my workbench so will try MDF fronts using the same type of construction as you used.
