Air nailer / 1.5" Nails

Drill / small drill bit (to bore out 3/8" dowel hole) 

square

tape measure / pencil

small hand saw

120 Grit sand paper

wood putty to fill holes and knots

Paint or stain to finish your piece (if desired)

INSTRUCTIONS:

1.  Cut out all of your pieces of wood to the sizes specified in the shopping list.

2.  Place your 1x3 on the side boards (as shown below) and mark where to nail.  Also place your sink bottom onto the board and mark, and your toe kick and bottom shelf and mark.  Use a straight edge to make sure that both sides of your sink are marked evenly so your shelves will be level:

3.  After marking, nail on your bottom shelf:

4.  Nail on your sink basin bottom (top shelf):

5.  Turn your sink onto it's face, and then nail on the 1x4 backsplash:

6.  Turn the sink back over to the front...

7.  And then nail on your 1x3 sink basin front:

8.  Nail on your 1x2 toe kick to the bottom front:

9.  Your sink should now look like this:

10.  If your sink will have a curtain, drill one hole on either side of the sink (1x6) 3.75" down from the top of the sink and about .5" in from the front of the sink.  Your dowel will then be passed through one hole, across the sink cupboard, and then rest in the other hole.

11.  Fill all holes with wood putty and let dry.  Sand well.  Finish with paint or stain as desired.

12.  Sew a small curtain to hang on the dowel, if desired.

13.  Your dry sink is now finished!

It's a great place to wash dishes...

Or maybe your doll has a "Pet Washing Service"??

Or how about an outdoor potting station for her greenhouse??

Or how about a place to develop all of Kit's photographs??
