    Default Year 12 major work - Outdoor kitchen unit

    So i've finished up my year 12 major work and i'm pretty proud of the way it turned out. I used Jarrah for the project, and made the cabinets inside the unit using laminated particle board (brushed aluminium). Instead of placing handles on the doors I decided on using a hand profile/ channel. Gives a nice stream line look.
    Then I put a Beef Eater 4 - burner bbq in the unit fit a sink and a mixer in.

    Overall project size is
    2700 W
    1000 H
    600 D
    Pretty decent sized project besides the weight (estimated at around 270kg)

    To the point of this post I plan on selling the unit and was hoping I could get some help on pricing this monster.

    Also, feel free to ask any questions about the unit (construction, design, etc)

    More than likely get into cabinet making or something along the lines of that. I've done some kitchen instilation work, cabinet fitting type work before and I really enjoy it.

    Have a look in Bunnings, BBQ Galores, any other place, get an idea how much they sell for at, relate that to what it cost you to build but don' short change yourself either on your labour content.

    Advertise on Ebay or Gumtree

    A tidy profit will buy you a few decent quality tools.

    Looks really good

    Quick question, does the gas bottle sit in the cupboard below the BBQ and if so, have you vented that cupboard?
    Cheers

    What a shame as it is something you could keep and be extremely proud of for years to come
