So, the final part of Ninas kitchen: a kitchen island on castors, easy to move around. We got most of the timber once again at Bunnings. They began to sell spotted gum some time ago and we thought, lets give it a go. It's a nice timber but incredibly hard (and hard to work with). Here a few pictures:

I made a little shelf for the front side. At the bottom is a cable channel and on the right is the channel for the pop-up power point.
The main table size is 78x120cm. Already a nice working area. Fully opened, it increases to 78x200cm. Huge!
The drawers at the rear. Each one has a load rating of 100kg.
The sides can be raised up to extend the table top. Carried by two timber hinges and a central beam.
The sides are open to give it a more modern appearance.
The cable channel also contains a spring-loaded cable spool for the connecting cable.
Rails are flush with the table top. The rails prevent the table top from warping.
The timber has those blackish resin ducts. The resin itself is clear like water and quite runny. What's left is just the opening.
I didn't fill in those gaps, this is the nature of this timber after all.
