Easy DIY Projects

We hit Episode 30, and boy is it a doozy!

Today, on The Cutting Bored, I’m building my own kitchen island for the home my fiancé and I just moved into. This is above and beyond the most ambition thing I’ve every built, but damn am I happy with it!. Hope you like! Estimated cost was $850 for materials (and a few weeks of labor on and off) v. a $3,000+ ballpark based on research.

Thank you to Purebond for helping support this project! Purebond is a no-added formaldehyde product sourced and manufactured in North America and is the highest quality plywood material I have ever worked with.
