Microwave cupboard

[Bruce1]

I bought a built in microwave oven thinking it was a free standing one. So I built a cupboard for it.

Hello @Bruce1, 

Congratulations on a fantastic project, and thank you for sharing it with us. You've done a great job on the cupboard. It almost looks like it had always been a part of the kitchen. Are you able to share more details of your process with us and the tools and materials used?

Welcome aboard the Bunnings Workshop community. You'll find it's a great place for inspiring D.I.Y. projects like yours and for handy tips. Please let me know if you need a hand getting the most out of the site, and I'll be happy to help. 

Great work once again, and keep those creative projects coming.

I bought the microwave from Bunnings not relishing it was a built in. I did use the whiteboard and made the handle from pine. I used a circular saw & screw gun. It’s a good mistake now I have more bench space

All's well that ends well, it seems, @Bruce1. Having more bench space in the kitchen is always a bonus. Thank you for sharing more details of the project, and the updated photo. 

Keep up the great work!

Hello @Bruce1 

To my eyes it looks great and matches the adjacent ovens. I wish my 'mistakes' turned out like this. I can't see a power-point in your second photo - did you have to install one for the new microwave position?

And and I see a power-board - for the toaster?

I did install a new power point behind the microwave. I also have a fake back in the cupboard for air flow. Thanks for liking it
