Thanks for the tips. I have three old wall cabinets that I now have the confidence to fasten together to make a base for an old bedroom bookshelf. It will fit perfect in my downstairs bathroom. Custom storage at recycle pricing. Perfect!

Hi Kris,

Sounds like you are in the market for a Kitchen Cart which would be perfect for a small space because its moveable. At this time we do not offer any options for creating one.

Good Luck with all your home improvements,

Please e-mail me letting me know how to attach the counter to the floor. We will be using our used cabinets in very good shape and also will be adding a trash compactor hope you answer soon as we are ready to get going thanks

I would like this idea a lot. I've been having a lot of problems watching your videos lately. i watch them and all of a sudden they stop and then i have to reload the video this happens about tens times per video.

I always love your how to videos, but this one like the rest take forever to view, because it downloads very slowly. i just watched the 13 minute and it took me 30 minutes or more before it was complete. i wish i could open them and when it was downloaded watch them in their entirely, but it won't do that...very frustrating. most of the time i do not take the time to view, because i just don't have the time.

Was wondering how cabinets were attached to the floor. Probably quite important so as not to move around, especially if you have electrical outlets on unit.

Soon I'll be constructing an island. It won't be on this scale - I haven't the space - but I will be using stock cabinets. I've bookmarked the webpage for reference. Thanks, Ron!

I don't need an island where I am at now but who knows I may sometime down the line. So it's good to know how to do it. Thanks Ron...

Rather than ask the same questions already asked I'd like to know where I can see the answers, especially to the questions regarding the written plans and attaching top to cabinets and entire project to floor. Do the plans include a materials list. I'm a novice DIYer and like seeing things spelled out. My wife and I love this project and want to build one soon.

Hi Ron, Ilove this island. I noticed on the video you have the plans. Are the plans for sale? I am going to do this island for my wife. Can you also provide me the information on the counter top. I like to know dept measurements and who it was ordered from thanks. This is a beautiful island. Thanks Tom

2 questions. I believe code for a kitchen island requires at least one outlet. I am planning to use a LEW popup or a Garvin one with an 11/2 IKEA butcher block top and using a dummy 9" cabinet in the middle to hold 2 boxes, one for the counter mounted GFCI and another for a cabinet backwall mounted GFI. I plan to screw the door to the dummy cabinet closed. I plan to wire the GFCI in pipe conduit to the floor and the second GFI will be downstream to the back cabinet wall. I would like to know how you attached the island to the floor. I am planning on using just 3 stock base cabinets. Thanks

Ron I really enjoy watching your show. This project of the island was great. I have a small kitchen, but I think something like that will work great. It will give me more cabinet space. Thanks for the ideas that you give

How were the cabinets attached to the floor?

I noticed you did not show us how you attached the cabinets to the floor, or if you even did attach them to the floor. Is it because of the weight of the countertop will stabilize everything. Also, how was the butcher block top attached to cabinets? We are going to do this project next weekend...waiting for your answer in anticipation of beginning our project. Can't wait, am very excited!
