More pieces of the cabinet. Another side. Note the three sides that have been dado'd. Cabinet base boards are on the workbench above the cabinet.

I put the cabinets together and then the bench on top, then laid the front and side pieces of hardwood along with the oak backsplash.

The white bits is just sawdust from the garage. The shelves in the center cabinets are their doors.
