Also first real project done entirely by myself. Not much of a handyman but working on it.

Had a really detailed post with back story and everything written up and accidentally hit the back button and lost it all. Doh! So just sharing the pics. 😛

Sorry for the low quality cell phone pics.

Nice job Ben! Plus cutting into counters can be a little bit nerve wracking! Came out great!

Nice job Ben, what were the new tools you used? You know what they say, pictures speak a thousand words. Yours sum it up pretty well.

Ben WoodruffMember since Mar 2015Apr 11, 2015 2:54 PM CT

Thanks guys!!

Nordraw, I used my Milwaukee 25′ magnetic tape measure, M18 compact drill, thunderbolt drill bits, M18 jigsaw, and a Bosch T308BO blade.

Yep. This is at my fire station. The chargers in the picture are (L -> R) Kenwood TK-190 portable radio, Motorola CP185 portable radio, Motorola Minitor V pager, and (windowsill) ICOM BC-146 portable radio.
