4 [9] [10] [11] [12] Cut List: 16 1 x Back slats 2 1 x 56 (measure first) Back trim 2 1 x Sides 2 1 x 54.5 (Measure first) Top & bottom shelf 2 1 x 25 Shelf Dividers 2 1 x 18 Side Shelves 2 1 x 17 (measure first) Center Shelves 2 1 x Front Side Trim 2 1 x Center Front Trim 2 1 x 16.5 Side Shelf Trim 2 1 x 17 (Measure first) Center Shelf Trim 1 1 x 56 (Measure first) Drawer trim 4 1 x 21 Side trim 2 4 x 4 or Turned Stair Page 4 of 16

5 1 1 x 56 (measure first) Back skirting 2 1 x 5.5 Leg support 2 1 x 7.25 Leg support 2 1 x 59 Top support 2 1 x 16 Side Top Support 1 1 x 52 (measure first) Center Top support 10 1 x 25.5 Door slats 4 1 x 17.5 (measure first) Door Trim Optional, 2 1 x measurement Door Z trim 1 1 x 50 Drawer bottom 1 1 x 50 Drawer back 2-1 x Drawer sides 1 1 x (measure first) Drawer front Step 1 [13] Lay Back slats side by side, keeping square. Measure total distance across and adjust the back trim cut. Round up to the nearest 1/4 if you have to. Set aside, we will attach these later, to help keep everything square. I recommended using wood screws to build the frame. Page 5 of 16

6 Mark 5.5 from top and 1.25 from bottom of Sides Double check that the top & bottom shelf are cut 1.5 less than the back trim. Attach top shelf so that the top of the shelf is 5.5 from the top of the side. Attach bottom Shelf so that the bottom of the shelf is 1.25 from the bottom of the side. Attach Shelf Dividers to top and bottom shelf, 18 from the side. Measure Center space to double check center shelf cut. Insert and attach side shelves and center shelves as shown in the diagram. * Note, When I built this, I left out one side shelf so that i could fit my garbage can inside. Feel free to position the shelves as needed* Step 2 Page 6 of 16

7 [14] * note If you want to get a more rustic look sand down & shape vertical edges of slats before attaching them* For the remainder of the instructions I recommend using a nail gun if you have it. Use nails that won t show through on the other side. Now that the frame is constructed, attach the back slats and then attach the back trim. Step 3 Page 7 of 16

8 [15] Next take the front Side trim and attach it so the edges are flush with the sides. Attach the center front trim so that the inner edges are flush with the center shelves. There should be no trim hangover in the center shelves. Step 4 Page 8 of 16

9 [16] Attach top side shelf trims so that the top is flush with the upper side of the top shelf. Attach bottom side shelf trim so that the bottom is flush with the lower side of the bottom shelf. Measure space between center front trim to check the center shelf trim cut. Attach upper most center trims so that the top of the trim is flush with the upper side of the center shelves. Attach bottom most center trim so that the bottom is flush with the lower side of the bottom shelf. Attach top trim so that it rests above the side trim, see diagram. Step 5 Page 9 of 16

10 [17] Attach Side trim & 4 x 4 posts, or turned stair banisters as shown in the diagram. Top side trim will be flush with top of island and bottom side trim will be flush with the floor. One set will be on each side of the island. Step 6 Page 10 of 16

11 [18] Double check distance between upper side trims and adjust back skirting cut. Attach back skirting in line with side trim. For the leg supports, attach the 7.25 long one to inside of posts or banisters, aligned with the floor. The edge touching the island will have to be glued. The 5.5 leg supports then attach to the ends of the posts or banister, align with side trim and inner leg support. Step 7 Page 11 of 16

12 [19] Center Top supports along front and back of island. Center Side Top Supports along Side Trim. Check to make sure everything is square and attach. Inset Center top support along center (back slats) of island & attach. Center Butcher Block & Attach. I used screws and drilled up from the top supports so that they didn t show. Step 8 Page 12 of 16

13 [20] Island Doors: Make 2 * note If you want to get a more rustic look sand down & shape vertical edges of slats before attaching them* Lay door slats next to each other & measure to double check door trim measurement Attach door trim 3 from top and bottom to door slats. Optional Z trim Take a 1 2 and cut one end at a 45 degree angle. Place it across the door slats, between the door trim and mark the other end. Cut at 45 degree angle and attach. Step 9 Page 13 of 16

14 [21] Step 9 Instructions: Island Drawer: Attach drawer back to drawer bottom so that the drawer back next to, not on top of the drawer bottom Attach drawer sides Double check drawer front measurement. To attach the drawer front, set the drawer inside the island and mark where it should line up. Attach drawer front Finishing InstructionsFinish Used: Fill holes with putty & Sand. Finish as desired. I used a deep cornflower blue (sorry exact name is forgotten) for my base, then sanded the edges down. I then put Minwax Ebony stain over the whole thing and wiped it off. This was a mistake, as stain never dries over paint. I would suggest if you want to get the same look use a glaze. I finished everything up with 2 coats of polyurethane. (Which btw will seal in the stain just fine if you make a mistake like I did) This was inspired because I hate chairs in my kitchen and I needed a place to store my silpats & rolling pins. I would like to say that this is marked as advanced purely because of how many cuts you have to double check the measurements on. Seriously check them twice because all board widths are slightly Page 14 of 16

I would like to say that this is marked as advanced purely because of how many cuts you have to double check the measurements on. Seriously different. check them twice because all board widths are slightly different. Source URL: sland-bar-plans.html Links [1] ns.html [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] Page 15 of 16
