Huge moneysaving DIY tip - join your local tool library, or start one :)

[@adventuresinrice]

I've never heard of one of those, but it sounds like a great idea!

[@fionawilson9574]

A tip for cheap work tops is the IKea sale corner at one of there stores I picked up the same worktop as yours for £10 length about 6ft I will be following your video to fit one in my fella's house so thanks for an easy to follow tutorial

[@adventuresinrice]

Great idea!! Definitely check out the link for the other video about cutting the worktop, I found it really helpful - you'll have to post a link to a photo when it's done!

[@fionawilson9574]

What size where your brackets please

[@robfletcher2678]

Nice job, well done! 👍 You've made my mind up to crack on with this 😃

This is great! Well made video, helpful info, and inspirational to know you did it for such a low cost. I found you while researching breakfast bars as I'm about to make my own using old oak boards. Well done and thanks! x

Great demo, thanks so much. I'm going to try this. I'm on a DIY buzz 😂

[@adventuresinrice]

Good luck! :D

[@zack1667]

Brilliant vid, thanks for giving me some more motivation to do it myself. Only issue I have is a cupboard to my left but maybe I could just buy smaller screws for the left?

[@adventuresinrice]

Thanks! Sure, or any of those screw systems that "grip" onto the wall are good if there's space behind

[@sandsdawson3092]

Great job, I m going to give it a shot

[@adventuresinrice]

Good luck! Feel free to use imgur.com or something to share the results in the comments!

Thank you!

[@christophephilippe1481]

Epic nice work.. how does the bar stay secured to the supports?? Does it just sit on top? Feel like I missed this...

[@adventuresinrice]

It just sits on top but is pretty tight, it's covered a bit at 16:20 and a 17:18 :)

[@christophephilippe1481]

​@@adventuresinricethanks bro, I remember seeing it. I didnt take it in I think I was chilling to the music watching the vid lol

[@adventuresinrice]

hah no problem, thanks for watching! :)

[@chrisfulthorpe7006]

Thx, i needed this as i have been struggling on how to do mine, but if i use struts on the wall i will be drilling into masonary/bricks ? Any tips on that pls ? Iam not used to using power tools as i am a female lol, and dont want to cause any damage to the plaster.

[@adventuresinrice]

Hey no worries! For a brick wall you definitely want to look at some masonary parts. You'll need a masonary drill bit and you can use plastic rawplugs or I like to use metal ones like "rawbolts" for the brick walls. Drill a small hole first then the bigger one second to reduce any damage/problems

[@chrisfulthorpe7006]

@@adventuresinrice Thankyou :)

[@brunoangel4556]

Amazing job man 👍

[@adventuresinrice]

Thanks so much!

[@tbri74]

Great video. What color was used for the wall?

[@adventuresinrice]

"Pure Grey" Matt emulsion. They've changed the tin, but should be this one: www.wilko.com/en-uk/wilko-walls-ceilings-pure-grey-matt-emulsion-paint-25l/p/0428662

[@hemanttavathia7830]

Very helpful. Thanks

[@adventuresinrice]

You're welcome!

[@stefedwards2934]

Excellent👏🏻 thankyou🇬🇧

[@adventuresinrice]

No problem 👍

[@Robdutton91]

Rest in peace Wilkos 🙏

[@adventuresinrice]

I've heard The Range are taking over the brand, so hopefully we'll get the same items at the same price in there :)

[@louiselurring9049]

What photo shop did u use pkease x

[@adventuresinrice]

I use Adobe Photoshop Pro 2023 at the moment, but not the latest one with the generative fill :(

[@DanielLastexGamer]

How much was the worktop pls ?

[@adventuresinrice]

I actually picked it up for free on facebook marketplace, someone was renovating and throwing it out. You can usually find them on facebook etc for around £10 if not free

[@abrigrant]

cant believe you done that for that cheap , nice project though

[@adventuresinrice]

Hey, thanks for taking the time to watch. I got pretty lucky with the worktop. I find when making things the most expensive parts is where they get you - the middle bits, like edging or finishing!

[@Happydaily24]

Oooh so you don’t need legs?

[@adventuresinrice]

It depends on the width and length, luckily mine was quite shallow so the beams on the wall were fine. If it's a deep surface or very long, it might be worth putting a pole in the middle somewhere to help support it :)

[@laurenevernon3229]

Great job!

[@adventuresinrice]

Thanks!
