Where did you get your table? And how large?
I know from earlier in the thread you had the sink on the left due to plumbing issues, but this is a nearly perfect sink setup IMO. I'd have the sideboard on the left (I'm right-handed) and I'd probably have the kettle elsewhere, but this is the kind of sink arrangement that makes the most sense to me.
It has a sideboard for setting aside cleaned items, etc., for them to drain on a towel or drain board, and the sink is shallow which means no bending down. I have mine at 40" high and it's just about dead perfect.

Its 6ft x 2ft. I cut it from butcher block purchased at Lowes and treated with Howard butcher block oil and conditioner. I used black iron pipe for legs. The sink is a Kraus all-in-one commercial.

Nice! The butcher block did you have to cut it down? I searched on the lowes app and they have a 6x4ft blocks, and it its like $269 plus tax usd!
I think you may need some center legs. Not much wood left at the sink cut out

That's not bad at all for solid wood.
Ikea has one model of solid wood top. I have four coming in Wednesday to become a bar top, a desk for my wife and probably enough cutoffs for something.
Yeah, it looks like it'll give way over time. Maybe a 2x6 header front and back would suffice if not legs.

Im sure! Guess im torn doing something like this with wood or spend the money on a 6ft stainless table, and a 36" with wheels.
Yes I cut it down. I bought the 6x4 and used the other 6x2 for another bar counter a while back - so I had this 6x2 conveniently lying around.
Yea I'm monitoring it. I was originally going to undermount the sink which would have given me a thicker edge but decided I didnt want to spend the time polishing it up and went with the drop in. I tested it after I cut and it held 180 lbs at the edge of the cut no problem. I'll reinforce - potentially with some steel flat bar.
Very, very nice build! I scrolled back thru the messages and I'm sure I missed the monitor explanation.
I use a DIY controller running craftbeerpi. The tv is showing the controller display with the temps and element/pump indicators. The iPad mounted beneath it is where I toggle between the controller (the controller is wireless and connected to Wifi so i can use my phone, ipad, etc to monitor from anywhere in the house) and my recipe (I've recently switched to Brewfather.app).
Very nice. Kudos!
