How to make a window servery bench?

[Katemerholden]

 

 

Hi guys! We have a piece of timber cut to attach to this window sill to make a servery bench but are unsure how to attach it! Its a brick sill on an angle underneath which makes it hard 

Any suggestions? 

Thanks

Hello @Katemerholden 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's wonderful to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about attaching a timber servery to your window.

I suggest having a look at this discussion - How to install outdoor servery bench below window? by @Holdent. Their window set up is very similar to yours. Generally, what you need to do is install another piece of timber on the angled part of the brick and fix it in place with Dynabolts to act as support for the bottom of the benchtop.   

Here are a few more amazing servery installations our Workshop members have shared:

• Cafe-style breakfast bar by @daniknight4 
   
• Outdoor serving bench by @sarayoussef 
   
• DIY outdoor servery by @homeinmelbourne 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

Hi @Katemerholden 

We did exactly the same thing and David actually put a wooden panel into the front of the sloping bricks and then screwed the bench into that. By doing that the bench doesn't slope with the windowsill if that makes sense. I think I posted the process on Bunnings Workshop but I also did a video on the whole thing. I'll put a link to the video and you can watch the whole process if you like, just skip the bit of me talking in the middle😁😂 It actually turned out so well which shocked both of us and it almost looks a little bit like a floating shelf from some angles. Good luck with it!

Good Evening @Katemerholden 

Nice idea I must admit I was going to describe how to make a bench and install some brackets but I watched @daniknight4 's video Thats a nice job they did and really it satisfies all the same things I was going to suggest but in a nicer look! The only thing Id do different and its only a personal choice is that Id oil the timber instead of staining and varnishing it I really liked their little end covers for the bricks (windowsill)

Love to see a few pics of your project and your own spin on it!

Well I think your idea and the implementation really nails all the spots I cant add tro it. Definently an idea I will keep in mind for use myself.
