A microwave cart - servojohn - 04-10-2016
Our daughter asked for a cart/stand for her kitchen. Decided to try something sturdy and cool. Went to a local stone supply and picked out some leftover fancy granit countertop and had it cut to size, and edges finished with a simple quarter round. Ordered some blank Red Oak legs from Adams Wood Products in TN. Picked up some RO 1x4 locally at Owl Hardwoods.
Ordered some nice polyurethane casters with threaded stems and brakes from Service Caster, and used brad hole weld nuts from Stafast that are drilled and counterbored into the bottom of the legs.
Borrowed a friend's Delta mortising machine, first time using one. Bolted to my bench for the project. Sharp bits really make a difference.
I am thinking of putting a drop in shelf along the bottom stretchers to hold cats or other kitchen stuff. ;>
Best regards,
John

Let us know how she likes that, it looks like it is very well made, and the granite top puts it into a high $$$$$$ piece, even if you didn't spend that. Well done.

She'll love it. And a cat shelf is a necessity.
I love the stone top. She ever decides to put the MW somewhere else the cart could make a good cutting area.
