framing sink...

[Mr Tiler]

in the last 3-4 hours ive realised I know nothing about the trade I want to go into lol... ive been trying to build a frame around my sink out of the timber left over from the partition wall I took down that was separating my toilet from the bathroom. anywhere I can find info on how to do this properly as im stuck and its looking like a boj job lol.... and no... u cant have any pics lol. cheers

There must be a Joinery forum you can join Mr Joiner??

 

[Mr Tiler]

I think I might be sounding a bit funny bit I don't mean to but do tillers not do stud fames? the plan was to 'simply' stud a frame around my sink... board and tile when ready but I cant seem to make it look any good it looks bodged. cheers

Are you trying to create a cupboard under the sink, or just make something to replace the pedestal?

 

[Mr Tiler]

hi bri... basically mate the sink doesn't have a pedestal it is attatched to the stud wall with brackets... I want to create a box section to surround the sink and ive been finding it hard to do I thought it would be a lot simpler lol. cheers

Think about it logically, it shouldn't be that difficult. Show us a pic of what you're trying to do, someone will be able to assist.

Your floor tiles look a bit rough, what cutter have you been using?

 

[Mr Tiler]
