    Brilliant work, I'm loving this kitchen. One potential improvement for your vids (especially as the renovation becomes more aesthetic) - I think you should do more 'money shots' at the end of the video to show off the work. Essentially a montage of clips set against music showing off the piece/your workmanship. Can't tell you how satisfying this is for the viewer! We don't get to bask in the kitchen everyday (as you do), so that's a way of making the viewer feel like they're there, enjoying your work

    For reference, you give us 3 seconds (16:28 to 16:31) to look at the kitchen plus a parting shot of the corner. I'd love a 15-30 second montage (depending on the complexity of the build) to really take it in. Als, please don't view this as a complaint - I love your videos and workmanship, I just want to see it more!

    I'm glad to see you work with solid surface. I fell in love with the material during my internship at a design company that worked almost exclusively with HI-MACS. They have some serious know-how about the do's and don'ts of the material. For instance, they would never use a chamfered edge to create a right angle. The trick is to cut a groove at the end of one piece that's slightly wider than the width of the sheet. The other piece would then fit in this groove with some extra material that can be trimmed away with a flush cut trim bit after glueing. (I hope that made sense?) They also had a very nice trick to make fillets at the inside of a corner making it very easy to clean.

    Just use a couple of drops of rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol) and the hot glue de-bonds almost immediately. The is no need to hammer off the blocks and chisel down the glue. It comes off as a solid sheet.🙂

    i used to work in a warehouse picking/packing wood panels and also hi-max panels. I'll give people a tip (should be obvious and known but best saying it over and over) like paint and anyover plastic you need to ensure the batch code is the same, it should be on the edge of the hi-max panel DONT MIX BATCH NUMBERS unless it cant be helped, always try lay them next to each other (sheet of carboard between lays to reduce scratching) dont think the glues have batch ids though so may slightly differ in colour from "stick" to "stick" and very slightly from teh panel.

    This is becoming a nice apartment. Love that beautiful kitchen. A nice thing about the solid surface material is that you can also heat-form it. Just heat up a piece in the oven and bend it in shape on a wooden form. That's a nice project to try on some offcuts you should still have 😄

    Such a good job! I don't know if corian is my preferred material for a countertop, because some other materials have better resistance to heat and cutting, but no doubt it's easier to work with, only using tools for wood. Also, I would choose a white sink instead of a metal one, especially for a sink under the countertop.
