Thread: DIY 5$ sink bridge

A piece of cedar (1"x6"x5'): 3.5$
6 stainless screws: 1.5$

5' was the shortest I could find at the hardware store, so I made two bridges and even got a leftover piece that I might use to make a jNat base. I made the first bridge with white Lepage glue as a prototype and I ended up using it as a makeshift work bench to drill holes for the second one, which I made with screws. Pictures below are of the latter.

To figure out the overall length, I took the interior dimension of the sink and added about 2 inches (1 at each end). Then I cut 3x 1" wide pieces for the foots and the stopper. I pre-drilled the holes to avoid any eventual splitting (this wood is pretty soft, but I don't know how it will react over time with the wet/dry cycles), and I drilled a wider hole on top to have the screws recessed. The only thing missing in the pictures are grooves to send the runoff water into the sink.









Cheers.

Nice ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

beautyfull , it is multyfunctional you can use it when washing vegetables or dishes .You can use it as cuting board for some aplications .

That looks nice, you really don’t need the stop, a piece of rubber drawer liner the size of a stone will hold the stone just fine and can be rinsed and dried when finished.

A 1/8 to ¼ in saw kerf will keep the water from running off the ends. I used a pine board sprayed with clear lacquer for years.
