This is the 8th build episode where I build the kitchen unit for the van conversion. The kitchen was designed to contain on oven, stovetop, fridge and plenty of storage drawers. The total frame was built from scratch out of stripped down 2"x4" timbers which saved me a lot of $$$ compared to buying dressed timber. I incorporated every inch of space with a tiny drawer under the sink and using the sink cut out as a cutting board which extends the countertop space.
I appreciate all comments, feedback and constructive criticism along the way!
