 That's funny.

 

 

for any problem there are 2 solutions:  engineering or accounting.  you can either fix what is wrong (build a step stool for short types), or you can pay them to put up with tall counters.  i'm cheap, build a step.

change the base of the cabs to functional...

add storage drawers and step stool combinations.....

did this for woman that was about 4'10''...

This is one of a batch I did using CB Designer program for the layout. Did not use the blood groove but did use the procedure Douglas has laid out. Thanks again.

CB Designer is a great little program. That is a nice looking board. 

 

I only put the juice groove in if they want it.

Looks like something that Oliver would make...

Outstanding tutorial, Doug. Thanks for preserving this.

nice board.   Nice thickness.  I keep considering and rejecting the idea because my wife is short and it'd add 2" to her need to reach with a knife.

You need to build her a VC. What is a VC, you ask? A step stool for Vertically Challenged people.

I wish all posts were like this.  We are here supposedly to teach each other.  I am glad this post did just that.

Once question when you wiped down the extra glue with warm water did not that also seal the wood surface?

no.  plus it got a lot of sanding later on, so any remaining glue is sanded off.  you can see it and feel it.
