Kitchen Fit MFT

[Woodchippie]

Just thought id post a kitchen I've fitted. Showing good use of my recently purchased MFT. As I'm over 6" tall I'm loving the working height. I think I'm going to raise my shop bench to that height too.
The Kitchen is a German Made Hacker. Ive got 2 more to fit in the next month or so. There very nice quality from a fitters point of view.

Very nice workflow you have going there, very smart  8)

Are you doing this as  a sub or do you have a supplier? I'm looking for a decent kitchen supplier.

I'll second that for the supplier 

 

[Woodchippie]

No i didn't supply the Hacker Kitchens. I did this one for a mate. Theres a plumbing merchants in my town who supply them.
Apparently he said this only cost a grand more than Howdens for the units.
I thought thats not bad for the quality you get. Not quite Seimatic, but they would cost you 5 times more.

Pronorm is another good German kitchen

Anyone fitted a Nolte kitchen? I had an "in" with a dealer once upon a time, didn't take him up on it.

 

[Woodchippie]

Only German kitchens I fitted were Siematic prior to this Hacker kitchen. Spent 3 years with Siematic and then 4yrs with Clive Christian. Total contrast, but I think preferred Christians as there's more solid wood involved.

You can't beat a MFT for kitchen fitting tasks in my book, it's an assembly table, end panel scribing station, support for routing worktop joints and somewhere safe to put your coffee while surveying the mornings work...amongst many other uses. [big grin]
Not surprised at the others wanting a decent supplier, I have a list of suppliers who either supply wrong or substandard units, companies who employ "designers" who can't use a tape measure or understand the work triangle but try to squeeze as many high cost items into the space as possible to boost their income  [bite tongue]
How do I know this? I went and worked for some of them while between finishing my apprenticeship, moving 180 miles north and struggling to get work as a carpenter/joiner aged 19 and a bit. Most of them still have the same problems 20 odd years later when I get asked to fit one without being there to help design or order it, such is life.

Two MFTs would be nice. I may invest in the MFT basic at some point.
Could be useful to support full lengths of worktop, whilst cutting and jointing.

Couple more photos.

I was thinking that the MFT in your first post could be left there to become an island...

Hey Woodchippie, in the 1st photo in the thread you have several systainers on your trolley, what is the drill systainer (and the drill) for the top box? Is this the standard sys2 that came with the drill?

Thanks

I'm guessing it's the PDC 18/4 and yes, if it is, it ships in an attic SYS2.

 

[Woodchippie]

Yes it's the PDC, with the attic Systainer.
Not used the attic for anything yet, have my drill bits and screwdriver bits etc, in another Systainer.
The drill is in picture 5 on the bottom of the unit.

 

[Pugster10]

Thought so. Thanks for confirming.

 

[Woodchippie]

More kitchen fitting, this is a Howdens kitchen with Wenge worktops.
So glad I have a TS55 for this and Rotex for finishing.

The Wenge is very hard and heavy, not looking forward to using this material again..lol

 

[Pugster10]

Wow another fantastic looking install there.  Looks like your tools collection is like mine, mainly Festool but with a mix of DeWalt there as well. Nice.  [big grin]

 

[Woodchippie]

Just installed another Hacker Kitchen, just waiting for work surfaces.[attachimg=1]

These are a few photos while I was still fitting.[attachimg=1][attachimg=2][attachimg=3]
