I live 2 hours away from a city. Not many people to choose from around here. Took a year to find a REAL electrician with a license and insurance! Went through many "bad" ones. One even cut a ground wire instead of doing whatever they were supposed to do with it.

So...I need to find a fabricator too. Problem is I have to decide whether to wait until mid-April for the sink I really want or choose another one.

There's the Kohler Stages 45" sink.

Here is a link that might be useful: cool video of the Stages sink

Yes, I love that one and the Kallista Multiere, but I cannot afford either one. So, I am looking for the largest single bowl so I can do a positive reveal and put cutting boards on it.

For those who are interested, the Orca is here and fits my professional Wilton half sheet pans flat with no problem, alhtough without the upper shelf in place. It fits the long way. If you use the squarer cookie sheets like lascatx they apparently do not. None of the more rectangular ones should be a problem. I was even more concerned about the reach needed to get to the faucet with the really wide sinks, since I am not that tall and don't have long arms, than cleaning, and I didn't want too deep a sink because I thought it would be hard on my back. I have heard mixed reviews about keeping the corners clean in the zero radius sinks. I do love the looks. If the Orca came zero radius, it would be awesome. Although, even among zero radius sinks there seems to be some differences in just how sharp the corners are. May the ones with a tiny radius are a compromise. Either way, it depends on what you like. I would be willing to get new cookie sheets for my Orca because I really liked it, and a further reach or changing faucets to make the reach easier, is worth it for a lot of people, with or without cleaning issues, just because they love the look of the zero radius and the really wide and deep sinks are more functional for them.

You don't say what the sink is used for -- mostly prep, rinsing, and hand-washing a few dishes -or- do you wash all your dishes by hand? Who uses it the most -- you or your DH? Is it your only sink? If not and you use the other sink while your DH uses this sink, then get him what he wants. However, if it is your only sink and it needs to be used by you for prepping and your DH for cleaning up (or some combination), then I think more discussion is needed with your DH. Most people use their sinks for the former (prep, rinsing, hand-washing a few dishes). Double-bowl sinks in a cabinet less than 33" wide results in bowls too small for most work. Even with a wider sink base, it can be an issue if you go with equal-sized bowls. We had equal-size bowls in a 36" sink base and the bowls were too small to clean much and too big for small tasks such as soaking silverware. I hated that sink! If you must have a double-sink, then I strongly recommend you go with a double-bowl sink with unequal sizes. In our new Kitchen, we have a 36" wide sink base with 70/30 bowls: 21"W large bowl, 10"W small bowl. They're perfect! My DH does most of the cleanup and he uses the small bowl to soak silverware and prep/cooking utensils while he does a quick rinse of the other dishes b/f putting them in the DW in the large bowl. He also hand-washes the few dishes we don't put in the DW (e.g., knives and larger pots/pans). The small side is also useful for prepping & cooking. If you are stuck with a 30" sink base, then I strongly recommend going with a single-bowl sink. You can always use a basin for smaller items when needed. Normally, I'm in the 2-bowl camp, but only if the sink base is wide enough.

Katrina: You may find this useful. Any sink 18 gauge or lower is fine. Beware of some sinks advertising 15 gauge; it may be only the flange. You can get some very nice accessories thrown in with certain sink deals. Like a strainer, colander, or bottom grate. As to brands, 304 stainless is 304 stainless, whether it comes from China or the USA. It's like being pregnant; you are or you aren't. Like a chandelier, no one has ever complained of having too big a sink.

You should think about how deep you want the sink to be. My DS has a REALLY deep sink. It's great for hiding mess (if you have an open concept kitchen and you want to hide things til you have a chance to clean up for instance). But I was helping out at her house during an illness recently, and I found that my back started hurting after a lot of hand washing. I hand wash at home a lot and never found my back hurting. So you might want to think about the depth and what you would like to prioritize. The Kohler Riverby isn't all that deep, but it is big, so I can put a whole roasting pan or large baking sheet in there for soaking without have to put them in slanted. That is more a priority for me that a super deep sink. I'm sure there are many others to choose from, just wanted to chime in with this one, which I like a lot.

On AJ Madison, the largest one I could find that was NOT a farmhouse sink was the Franke Professional PSX1103310 at 34".

(There were a number of farmhouse sinks at 36, but I reckon those would not allow you to do what you are trying to do.)

I really want the drainboard with a 32" + single bowl sink. All I can find with drainboards are sinks with a 20"+ basin that are maybe 32-36" total width.

I can't afford custom made so I guess I will do without the drainboard. The sink size is what is most important, I guess. More searching.... Thanks, Peke

How about considering a large double sink, with your cutting board (or custom drainboard?) over the smaller of the two bowls?

Hmmm. A cutting board could be custom made to fit on the positive reveal, with grooves in one side and a cutting surface in the other.

That could look pretty cool.

The largest sinks of which I am aware can be found at 'The Galley Sink'. They are a bit pricey but I so want one.

Those Galley sinks are fabulous. Better than a wading pool or a sandbox when I was a kid.
If I had one, I stand there and dabble, sift, and sprinkle.

Yes, but at over $6000, way out of my league!
I found a 36" SS single bowl sink from Ariel sinks.

Here are my favorites:

Ruvati- RVH 8300 one large bowl 32x19 decent price.
Ticor TR 4100 or TR 4000. both good prices.

Then I just found and fell in love with....a triple bowl.
Which I cannot find anywhere!
Ticor 1900

If I could find the TR1900 I think I would stop wanting a single bowl.

Seems there are warehousing problems...whatever that means. Cannot get one until mid April...I translated that to actually mean early summer.

All of them have the ledges and accessories. I am thinking about putting either the TR4100 or 4000 in my laundry room to wash our small dog in. Just can't decide whether the big sink or the smaller sink with drainboard would be best. I don't wash a lot by hand so it is mostly for the dog. I can set my dog on the drainboard and soap her up. I have about 36" for a cabinet.

Wishing for a TR1900.....Peke

any competent fabricator (stone or wood/laminate) should be able to make any sink you select with a reveal and a cutting board custom made to fit. Sink cutouts are normally done on a CNC which is driven by a CAD drawing. Once you have the CAD file for the cutout it's an easy step to creating the CAD file for the cutting board.

Not all shops could do this but almost anyone with a CNC could do it relatively easily.

You should be able to have a local sheet metal fabricator make a stainless undermount sink to your specs.

I have the Blanco Performa, in stainless. I think its 34" for a 36" base cabinet. Cutting board is available and I ordered it. I did not mention the cutting board to my counter installer and when I went to use the cutting board. it did not lay properly in the sink reveal. I did not specify the type of reveal, so obviously my fault.

OT, but I also got the colander that goes with the sink. I don't like it at all.

LOVE the Blanco SS sink. I have the coordinating prep sink also.

Crampon how do you find local sheet metal fabricators?

One thing to keep in mind about fabricating a sheet metal sink is sound. I have the large Franke SS and love that it is quiet. Well insulated. Might not matter to some, but I don't want to hear clink, clink, clinks. Or water drips when the faucet is on.
