- countertop faucet kitchen sink
I made my countertop out of 3/4" plywood topped with Formica. (1/2" is probably sufficient, but I had the 3/4".)
No sink. If I ever need it, a 2 quart pot or the plastic bin I keep my cooking stuff in. My beagle makes dish washing easy.

I used 1/2" ply and glue on formica ( or similar product) in my build. I bought a SMEV sink and stove top from PantherRV. Never did use the stove top....

I found a scratch and dent sheet of countertop laminate at IKEA for ~$30. I think total size was about 3'x8'.
One corner edge was damaged but still able to get a counter and backsplash out of it. Easy to cut with a circular saw and jigsaw.
I may use the rest of the sheet for some sort of island style workbench

We call K9 pre-wash "French Dry Cleaning"
We will use acrylic countertop material Megonite brand like Corian brand to replace the swelling MDF and laminate. There is special treatment for heat sources like drop in cook top. Directions online. Local shops may seem off-cuts if you only need a small sheet. Typical ½" but also available in ¼" for walls / splash.

Thanks for the replies! I'm glad it worked. We love ours! The new stainless sink came with a custom fit cutting board and a drain rack for the bottom. Combined with the Corian, it really made our kitchen function and look a lot better.
