I am tempted to use black tiles as the splash back as I may have access to some for free. Bench top is the next big decision

I have seen a few kitchens that have been using 600 x 600 floor tiles for the splashback and only using a 3mm spacer so the grout line is narrow. A lot less grout to clean and gives a sleek look. The standard height from top of bench top to under side of the overheads is 600mm so they fit in without having to do to many cuts. Your looking at maybe 20 bucks per tile so wouldn't be a big expense.
 
Put in about a km of horse fencing on the weekend single handed. Putting on the electrics today hopefully after concreting a couple of the corner posts in.
 
I have been working on these benches for the last few weeks. Main frame is 75x75x3mm.
Flat to incline Seat back angles are 0,15, 30,45,60, 75 and 85 degrees. Decline bench has the same angles but the added -15 degrees decline.
Still waiting on the radial arms from the laser cutter but will get the main frames together this weekend.
These will be a couple of rock solid benches.




 
One bullet proof FID bench under construction.....

10mm plate radial arm:


Bits of metal and stuff.....
