Bet you haven't done this before..

I have a job to put a surround on a stainless steel sink. Make it look like a cabinet. Today I went to do the fitting before I finish it. A little more time but I don't have to deal with working on a finished product.

Here's a before and sort of after, just the basic face frame and side. The side will have a panel and the holes will have doors and drawers, all overlay.

After, not done yet of course.

Leo, how old are you anyway?

[Leo G]

I'm not really old.

The keep calling me crotchety, so I must be really old.

[Allrounder]

better get sparky in there to swap that receptacle for a GFCI.....

[Leo G]

How do you know it isn't on a GFCI breaker?

[kornerking]

My wife crochets, but in my mind she is still the sweet young thing I married 40 years ago.

[kornerking]

oh, you said crotchety, sorry

Sorry I can't see the little sticker in the photo. :grin:

The frame is really going to dress up that sink. Pretty industrial stuff for home use.

[Leo G]

I'm pretty sure it is a standard outlet. Not my business or gig. [you should know from the light shot in my kitchen :laugh4:] I might mention it to them since it has come up a few different times on the different forums. I just have to remember.

OK, got one of the cabinet surrounds install. The SS sink surround. Had a small snafu. On of the hinges hit the sink. It made it so it wouldn't lay flat. So I took it off and ground a 1/4" off the back. Now it fit nice, to bad I had to grind off one of the screws that did the in and out adjustment. I thought I had it fixed, I opened the door and the hinge slipped and moved 3/16" outward. I figured I would have to take it off and spot weld it. But I just drilled a hole in it and put a screw through it and everything is A-OK.

Here are a few shots. Tomorrow I will surround the butcher block table.

Very nice adaptation Leo. They happy?

[Leo G]

She's ecstatic about it. She hated that sink. Don't know about the husband. He got home and they were about to sit down for dinner. I was cleaning up at the time, when I said good night to them they were just finishing up. I'm sure he'll love it too.

Nice work as always.
