Kitchen Remodel (Farm)

A kitchen makeover on what was then our Farm in Wallacetown ON
Before

After
The finished remodel includes custom cabinets that I made. The framed cabinets were made from paint grade maple plywood. Doors and framing are made from native cherry purchased from my neighbour. Milled and built by myself.  All drawers use full extension sliders.

In order to remove the island, we closed in a window and moved the stove there. Vent is a 800 cfm unit purchased off eBay. It arrive one day delivered by two cheery fellows at 7 am in the morning. Well worth the purchase.

Countertop and backsplash are tile. I would not use tile for a countertop again. Although cheap, it's really not very user friendly. Hard to clean properly and the tiles are fairly easy to damage. If I were to do it over, I'd use concrete. See my Ancaster reno post.

A Propane Forge

A propane blacksmith's forge. Made from a old Oxy Acetylene gas cylinder. Lined with ceramic wool. The burner is a version of Ron Reil's  Reil EZ-Burner  that I made. Below are movies of the forge running: You will note that the burner is offset rather than straight down. This offset was recommended by a number of individuals, the idea being that it would cause the flame to swirl. I have not found this to be the case. Instead, it just causes a hot spot to one side. I would not do this again and do not recommend it. My next forge will use a top down mounting of the burners.

Propane Burner for a future Backyard Foundry

Here is a short movie of my propane burner that I made for a future backyard foundry. It's made from 1 inch black pipe and assorted fittings. I'm considering attaching a blower to the air intake, which explains my playing with the hair dryer. Loosely based on the Sidearm Burner by "Frosty" from Ron Reil's website .
