1. Now the most important thing is that do-it-yourself wooden kitchens need a detailed drawing and it is you who have to draw it up.
   The following factors should be considered when marking:
   • Distance from kitchen countertops to the floor - this takes into account the height of the person who most often cooks. Also, do not forget about his working hand - left or right.
   • We indicate the dimensions of drawers, side tables, tables, doors and wall cabinets.

Do not forget about the fact that in the drawing it is necessary to indicate the material from which will be made kitchen fronts, frame and table top.

Also as for fronts for the kitchen - display whether they will be transparent or not, will they have mirrors or will be decorated with carvings. The fittings should be marked in the amount required for the complete assembly of the structure (handles, hinges, brackets, etc.).

You only need to pick up the prepared material and collect it in your kitchen.

In general, cutting the material is an inexpensive service, so if you have the opportunity to use it, do not spare money. On the way out, you will save a lot of time and money by having perfectly fitted parts at your disposal.

Essential tool for creating a wooden kitchen:

• Screwdriver and drill with a set of drills and bits;
• Nails and hammer;
• Pencil, square and tape measure;
• Construction level;

• Hacksaw for wood (necessary for processing small parts and shortcomings);
• Sandpaper and a construction knife.

In general, kitchen furniture consists of only three types of products: wall and floor cabinets with doors and shelves, a work surface. They differ only in design and quantity.
