Well some more growth on the MKT project is evident.
First.... to many's dismay and even more of those in delight I am rejecting the "Funk" Theme for now and double downing on the Jive Roots.
So... I need to replace the "Popdaddy's" Font with something more period and some other details but I have a basic name I am going with and the logo.
Nope
No one would get it
Yes.... change some things and I got it
Next up was the hand sink and three bay sink issue.
I need a sink and three bay sink will have to be off deck but of course I do have one for that that rolls. So the hand sink is a must.
I have been using these:
MKT 59 Field ranges and they are "neat" but I cannot see me needing them (they are ovens that are kinda okay (really good for boiling large amounts of water or double jacketing soup. It has its own stand for them so if I add a set of wheels I can roll that too.... or on one of my ends I can set one or both up then shove them back when we fold up.
When that was done I bought a sink:
My plan was to put it here:
But I have another problem.
I need a small ice well. I never thought of it but when I looked at it real close, under that cutting block was a portion that pulled out. From what I have heard no soldier has found a use for it other than a makeshift place to store cuttings and the dripping of a roast also pour in there. There is no drain. Sure, I thought of making it into a sink, its one formed piece for the "bowl" but I looked at it, pulled out some 1/4 pans and with a little trimming you can actually fit 6 of them with a spacer in between. THARRRR she blows.
So the next problem was that was a ****ty place for an ice well for sandwich assembly. I got to looking and I have this extra heavy cabinet that typically goes on the ground.
I wanted to put it on the rear end. But I could not because of the wheel well. But then I noticed if I cut out the sheet metal in the partitions of the long counter I could slide it back some... just enough to fit the 29 inch cabinet in.... I had to remove some handles, a strap holder and some rivets but got it done. And guess what..... there was just enough room for the other 18 inch counter - with ice well, with a flip up stainless counter.
So with the ice chest (which is segmented to take blocks) - if we include that.... that is over 160 inches of work space.
