Kitchen frame and fridge

We decided to go with an extruded aluminum cabinet because it sounded fun to work with and I don't have access to a large table saw so making a square plywood cabinet would have been impossible for me.

Ourkaravan has a good video on using Series 15. I decided to go with 1 inch Series 10. The carriage bolt method did NOT work since there was not enough space between the nylon lock nuts for 2 to fit. I made the mistake of ordering the "lite" series 10 inside brackets and found that these need the 3/8 inch bolts.

Note about 80/20, while it is very versatile and you can build with it without special tools, the connectors are expensive and it requires some planning to get everything ordered. Use the catalog to get the proper part numbers and recommended parts for the series you are using.
