Building a DIY KITCHEN ISLAND w/ Ice Maker & QUARTZ COUNTERTOPS Install

[@mariushegli]

I have nothing to say really, but I appreciate your content, and wish to help with the yt-algorithms.

[@kevinwhiteaz]

That ice maker is an absolute dream. What a beauty

[@craftedworkshop]

Yea I’m insanely excited to have it set up finally!

[@M1CK3YL33]

Johnny the kitchen is looking awesome, great work! PSA: For the next time please be aware that engineered stone countertops, fine dust is highly dangerous. It can cause Silicosis. So high quality eyewear and breathing mask is necessary. Recommend to cut with water instead of a dry cut, to avoid the fine dust.

[@craftedworkshop]

Thanks! Yea I’m not going to tell the installers what PPE to wear but I don’t think that surgical mask did a whole lot.

[@pip5461]

@@craftedworkshop lol...

[@someyoungguy6990]

@@craftedworkshop engineered stone is about to be banned in Australia as they have found even wet cutting does not permanently contain the dust and people with as little as six months of exposure to engineered stone dust have Silicosis, while using all relevant PPE correctly.

[@sapelesteve]

Those countertops look fantastic Johnny & the process for installing them was amazing! 👍👍

[@supHauu]

Man the pop-up outlet is so damn baller, i love it

[@jerrygrammer4714]

Haven’t seen anyone make templates like that In a long time. Last 3-4 I’ve had done were done digitally

[@ZackPyle]

I've had all types within the last couple years including graph paper and a tape measure (that one was for an outdoor kitchen though, so I guess more room for error?)

[@TheArtificiallyIntelligent]

What was the digital process?

[@ZackPyle]

@@TheArtificiallyIntelligent there are multiple. One is just lasers that scan the room. Another is lower tech, but still digital - it involves a machine on a tripod with a "pen" attached to a retractable wire that records where you place it on the cabinets

[@lucaswhite2681]

Sink install tricks were great

[@christopherday210]

For black and white that is cool. Nice job...

[@ggreenwi]

Love your videos and I really appreciate the Tiny House Series. Looking forward to the Timelapse! Thanks again for the work.

[@UnderrConstruction]

Really beautiful work, Johnny! GJ

[@craftedworkshop]

Thanks!

[@Danstimo95]

Interesting knowing you’re allowed to dry cut on site, here in Australia it’s illegal to dry cut at all

[@MrHermz13]

This edit is so engaging my girlfriend looked over and was invested haha

[@craftedworkshop]

Hah that’s great!

[@jasonargentieri8954]

Looks beautiful. Very nice work.

[@BaronBurni]

The pony noise made me smile

[@craftedworkshop]

Hah, glad to hear it!

[@zerocool2352]

beautiful work

[@francishoover8633]

I don’t get the quartz top brackets. You already cut the top plate of the pony wall for electrical and then braced it with drywall, so it’s not structural at all now. Then you attach the quartz overhang brackets to broken pony wall top plate. How’s that going to be strong? Normally when cutting top or bottom wall plates, one will use metal straps to reinforce it, not drywall.

[@OUTDOORS55]

The cabinets on the other side provide the structure.

[@francishoover8633]

No it didn’t. The cabinets are open back with stretchers is all.

[@bobbywweaver]

"that aint going anywhere", lol classic. It's impossible to not say it.

[@NightyNite94]

it's starting to look very nice can't wait when the not so tiny house is completely finish

[@craftedworkshop]

Me neither, thanks!

[@PouncePlays]

Should have used a gfci breaker, so that in the case of a fault you arent having to take out the ice maker to reset it.

[@hcanergocmus]

I would like to see the installation of the pop up outlet in the video

[@FMFC0RPSMAN]

Keep up the great work! I enjoy your videos very much.

[@MCsCreations]

Really beautiful work, Johnny! 😃 The tiny house is turning so beautiful... You're going to end up moving there! 😂 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@Samboslice1]

Looking good mate 👌 Loving the workshop vids also 🤙

[@craftedworkshop]

Thanks! I’ll be back to the shop videos in a few weeks!

[@cdubrrt33]

where did you get the magnetic strap on your drill holding the bits?

[@deanekonomou7641]

A few bottles of Blantons I’m in Black Mountian how do I get a hold are you I really need cabinets. Dean

[@ScottBaietti]

Did you think about using pocket holes from inside top of the pony wall to attach your cabinet covers? It would have concealed the screw entirely. Is the reason you avoided this just in case you want to take them off in the future after the countertop is installed?

[@hinduspl]

Great video thanks for your job

[@debybrooke157]

love, love it!!!!

[@doubledarefan]

0:20 You mean Crafted Cocktails, right? 😀

[@shadowguardian2164]

As someone who does cutting fabrication polishing and install of quartz and granite everyday, everything looks good from a semi-pro standpoint. So you went with Eased edge 3cm white quartz with practically no grain?

[@1202jazzman]

Curious why you put the drywall on the inside of the pony wall since it wasn't exposed at all? Is it a code requirement?

[@craftedworkshop]

I was just playing it safe, otherwise I would have had exposed Romex and plumbing.

[@jimmycurran5355]

Enjoyed the video

[@vinnypinatelli221]

Have you ever heard of or tried grim Brothers brewery from loveland co? It is amazing and it like the kind of beer you drink I think!!

[@jkiems]

That’s awesome!

[@LoomyX]

Did you get to keep the leftover piece of countertop from the cooktop opening? Coz that has DIY side table written all over it :D

[@craftedworkshop]

I didn’t unfortunately!

[@howardappel3596]

How do you access the plumbing shut off/electrical without pulling out icemaker?

[@j-dawg4015]

Very cool 😎 🇦🇺

[@isaaccastaneda6140]

You really just showed us a clip of you showering 🤣🤣🤣

[@tstratton1]

Don't scare him away from doing that every time please. This man really has it all.

[@chasewalter8915]

The irony when the lowes guy uses a ryobi glue gun 🤣🤣🤣

[@nashgrey]

Is there any danger of the p trap freezing, since it’s outside of the insulation?

[@craftedworkshop]

I will probably add an insulation sleeve around it but the amount of water flowing through the p-trap constantly should help to resist freezing

[@jimrumsey8077]

Glad to see you using a gfci for the ice maker but unfortunately by code you can not have it behind it. Best option would be a gfci/afci breaker and regular outlet behind

[@emma-eventing]

100% here for the pony walls

[@gpzjeffrey7974]

You didn't show it, but I'm going to assume that the ice maker drain goes to septic or sewer and not to ground. It can't go straight to ground since it isn't a simple condensate drain like an air conditioner and the ice maker has to flush and accommodate melted ice in it's drain too. This makes it grey water, hence has to be routed to septic or sewer. I'm assuming you of course knew this. The other thing I'll assume is that the drain pipe is sloped at least 10:1, and has a visible air gap to prevent sewer backup from going back up the drain to the ice maker (the drain hose routed into the drain pipe is your air gap, but take care this hose ends well before it enters the trap else it won't keep the trap filled.) These are uniform plumbing code requirements, even if your local codes don't require it they're still best practices.

[@JonathanFisherS]

Stupid Question! Will that drain freeze?

[@edd2771]

Awesome but those pointy corners worry me

[@cityguyusa]

What's the point of the pony wall? My fridge line doesn't go through anything. And you have a drain on your ice maker?

[@craftedworkshop]

This style of ice maker requires a drain due to the volume of melt water, and the pony wall was going to be the easiest way to add the drain line plumbing to code.

[@cityguyusa]

@@craftedworkshop I'm thinking about my kitchen island and maybe it's a code diffetence but underneath all I have is a plastic line from the dishwasher that connects to the disposal. The disposal of course hangs from the sink and PVC piping connects to the disposal which creates a short-legged upside down U connection that goes down through the cabinet base into the basement which would be your crawl space I presume. I have a switch for the disposal on the sink side and a recepticle on the dishwasher side and no wall of any type. It's a cabinet that is covered on the sides and back by stained paneling and a butcherblock top to hold the sink. Not tying to annoy you just tying to understand what they code people think about all day. Dog farts and beer I 'spose. It's amazing how many pages they can come up with that's mostly common sense but to sell the book for $1000 they hide uncommon sense inside every 37 pages or so.

[@milt7348]

Stay safe.

[@mauserkk98]

Down hill stretch then .

[@deanekonomou7641]

Ok who the installer on countertop

[@chakireladraoui9331]

Good

[@etmccaus]

The outlet was *required?* Man, I will never understand some building codes. Nicely integrated, though, I must say.

[@craftedworkshop]

Yea it’s so you can run appliances on the island without having to run extension cords across your kitchen. It’s a trip hazard thing I believe.

[@lorcanoneill4100]

First 😎

[@dalewitty559]

Haven't seen posts lately concerning the work on the tiny house build. What gives?

[@bchdsailor]

An ice cube in your hand and dropping it back in to the box? That is a perfect example of breaking all possible hygienic rules there are.

[@bchdsailor]

@@roodood Family and friends with a heavy diarrhea

[@xBris]

2:49 - so you're telling me that the "land of the free" requires that every kitchen island has an outlet? That makes literally no sense. I know building codes are local not federal, but you have sooo many freedom-restricting codes and laws that it's really funny sometimes...
