I Built a Luxury $20,000 Outdoor Kitchen

What happens here

The presenter assembles the pre-cut metal studs into rectangular frames for the base cabinets using a cordless drill (Ryobi brand) and self-tapping screws. He then positions and secures these frames against the wall and the pergola post, ensuring they are level using a Stanley level. He also highlights the specific screws (phosphate-coated screws) used for ease of installation due to their fine tip and magnetic properties.

Goal: Construct the cabinet frames and secure them in place.

Tools and materials

  • Cordless Drill Ryobi — For driving screws, Level Stanley
  • Phosphate-Coated Self-Tapping Screws — To join metal studs and secure frames

What they say

when it's open. Hey, ask me why I'm using metal studs for this build. Why are you using metal studs? Great question. Least likely for this thing to catch on fire when the studs are made out of metal, obviously. I really picked the best day to do this. It's just pouring rain harder and harder with every minute. Anyhoo, I apologize about that. I was rudely interrupted by the rain doing my project. But, so yeah, it's a fire hazard, but also uh moisture-wise, you know, it's going to get piled with more rain like this and this stuff will actually sustain versus pressure-treated lumber, you can still do it. It's just you know, there's this weird feeling about building it with pressure-treated wood while this thing is going to get hot. So, I don't know. Are the metal studs a lot more expensive than standard? No, they're pretty close. >> [music] See, the problem with patio stuff like this is all the patio stuff is meant like the slabs, the floor, it's meant to slope away from the house. And so, >> [snorts] >> you know, you cut all your pieces completely straight, but then you're going to have to uh level them because you don't want to put like an egg or anything on top of your countertop and have it you know, roll off and whatnot. >> [snorts] >> So, we're doing quite a bit of stuff here. A lot of variables, but we're getting through it. Nothing else to do it but to do it. Very nice. By golly, we done it. So, we still need to reinforce a few more spots. Um not too sure if with stud metal stuff if it's still 16 on center. I'm going to treat it that way. Uh so, I'll throw one here, possibly two there, and then another one here. Um granite is heavy, so I want this thing to be upright. But by the time we put fiber board and stone around it, it
