Yeah, that solid surface stuff is expensive. It's the nice part of the kitchen cause I didn't go whole hog on cabinets. I bought stock unfinished oak cabinets and finished them myself and changed out some of the hardware, added my own crown moldings and end panels I made out of unfinished paneled doors. They didn't cost 500.00 each but they look good
Here is the kicker the counter top I just ordered it tonight and it is for the top of the 36 inch corner cab and the 18 inch drawered cab on the end so it is 36 by 54 inches. It;s the L in the kitchen. That counter was 600.00 with the back splash. Here is the kicker... the 9 foot long section with a sink cut out and seperate back splash is only 268.00 more than the other counter! Anyway... I am not using top of the line stuff in most cases and compared to granite this isn't either but it is nice than laminate.
I finally have settled on vinyl for the floor. It's not the "trendy" thing but for us it's a quick in and out day job for the installer ( one of the few things I am not doing in it) and it's easy to change down the road, it's soft to the feet and easier on the back and the yahoo's in my house won't tear it up like a wood floor or ruin it with water like a laminate! They call me the sheriff cause I am always chewing butt on somebody on the oak floors I refinished in the hallway and living room... especially the daughter in her dancing shoes, soccer shoes etc. GET THEM DARN THINGS OFF MY FLOOR!!! Son says uh oh.. the sheriff is awake
The rolling base will be some glued up Oak panels that I got free from my father-in-law a few years ago when he was a factory rep for that company and some oak plywood. I will be using glue and pocket screws for this and the router table cabinet it self. I will be building the cabinet for the table like the OP table only mine will have 2 drawers in the side. Bottom shelf in the base will hold the mini router table and some push blocks etc. and the other shelf will hold the OP fences, the Incra jig stuff and if room the Gifkin jig. Going to have some fun tomorrow and the best part is knowing the top is made and don't have to screw with that!
