After a little shuffling of some design elements, I got back to work on the kitchen island yesterday. There's still a lot of work left to do, but hopefully I can start painting the bulk of the thing tomorrow (this is predicated on 1, getting everything sufficiently assembled and 2, my paint sprayer, which I haven't used in years, working as it should). Then there's the top to wrestle with still...but I'm pretty happy to have gotten things dry fit today. The island will feature a set of full-depth drawers and a couple sets of bookshelves on one side (the "front" side), and a couple sets of bookshelves on the other (the "back" side). Moving this thing out of the shop is going to be a challenge. I figured I could handle it alone, but while the weight isn't unbearable, it's just a hair too big in just about every dimension to get a good grip on anything. But I'll cross that bridge when I get to it, and if I need to call in some reinforcements, I know all kinds of dudes that hate receiving phone calls from me when I need to get something big and bulky delivered to a job site.
