Do you need an extra workspace in your kitchen? Create a rolling island for extra functionality and style. On one side are a blender, tin pans, cutting boards and more, while on the other side additional seating is possible. This portable kitchen island is ideal for small spaces and can be rolled out easily if necessary.

Boring with the backsplash of your kitchen? Make a new one with fabric and clear acrylic - the color and pattern options are endless. This application is perfect for tenants and can be easily adjusted and removed after moving out.

NOTE: This example applies to an existing tile backsplash. Removal and cleaning is easy with a razor blade and a general-purpose cleaner. If your existing backsplash is drywall, consider securing the acrylic and fabric with Velcro or removable adhesives or strips. You should still apply the clear silicone seal to the outer edge of the acrylic to prevent water from entering the fabric.

Prepare the boards and build the side walls
Cut off the legs, side skirts, side rails and spars with the supplied cut list. Also, cut the plywood sidewalls to the desired size. Using a pocket punch, drill 3/4 "pocket holes in the side skirts and secure them to the legs with 1-1 / 4" pocket hole screws. In the photo below, I use a piece of 3/4 "thick wood under the side skirt so that the side skirt is flush with the inside of the legs.

In addition, drill 3/4 "pocket holes in all four sides of the plywood side panels and drill two 1-1 / 2" pocket holes in the ends of the side rails and the spars. Attach the side rails to the legs with 2-1 / 2 "pocket screws and secure the plywood to the side rails and legs using the 1-1 / 4" pocket hole screws. Finally, attach the last spar to the sidewall with 2-1 / 2 "pocket-hole screws, measure and cut the side rail detail, drill 1-1 / 2" pocket holes in the ends, and secure it with 2-1 / 2 "pocket holes. 1/2 "pocket hole screws.

When drilling in 3/4 "thick material, adjust the pocket hole fixture to the 3/4" depth setting and secure it with 1/4 "hole screws.When drilling in 1-1 / 2" thick material, you must Adjust the template to the depth setting of 1-1 / 2 "and use 2-1 / 2" blind hole screws to fix it.
