IMG_0993.JPGThe face vise95 viewsSweet old Columbian I scored at the swap meet for $20, with the original handle. It cleaned up nicely. The chop is cut from a piece of live oak I took from my parents' firewood pile. It was from a huge branch split off one of their trees when Hurricane Hugo blew through North Carolina back in '89. It's perfectly "quarter split" and I've been saving it for something nice. You can see the border of the heartwood and sapwood.TRexF16

IMG_0992~0.JPGView minus doors and drawers92 viewsOriginal plan was to be symetrical and centered on the window, but the reclaimed timbers I used were long enough to add a foot to the left and add a nice old vise so it is a true Galoot sink.TRexF16

IMG_0989.JPGFinished Base74 viewsThe graduated drawers are fit on 100# full extension slides, and the area under the sink is painted. Ready to install the top and sink, and then make the drawer fronts.TRexF16

IMG_0996~0.JPGSink installed65 viewsThis is an old but sound cast iron enamled sink my contractor gave me. It was lying around gathering grime at his place, but cleaned up very nicely. I wanted a one-hand operation plus a spray nozzle, and settled on this unit from the Borg. I would have loved something older styled but passed on investing the coin in the fancier stuff.TRexF16

IMG_0975.JPGLeft side frame preview99 viewsWild QSWO ray patterns here. This was a tar-soaked timber used to space heavy sewer pipes apart in shipping. I liberated this one after it had served its purpose in a big infrastructure project on the Guard Base.TRexF16

IMG_0978.JPGLeft inside frame view82 viewsYou can see how massive the frame is here, before putting on the "filler" sheets to which the drawer slides will mount.TRexF16

IMG_0981.JPGFace Frame back101 viewsThis was a pallet runner. You can see the old nail holes where I ripped right through the empty holes. Nice tanin reaction of the oak. I think there was a jet engine or other big compenent shipped to my Air National Guard unit on the original pallet. Check out the front view to see how dramatic it looks when carefully cut to show the rays.TRexF16
