Camper Cabinet pt5 pls be done now...

Quick summary vid of the mostly finished van kitchen cabinet.

- Still haven't designed a travel-mode-lock for all the sliding things...but will get to that eventually.
- The magnetic catch for the cupboard door will probably be swapped for a positive ball catch.
- The fridge drawer has yet to have straps or a latch installed to lock the fridge to the base.
- The bottom drawer underneath the fridge drawer might end up with a boxed frame...yet to decide. Stuff really should be in plastic latching tubs when camping anyway. I can secure a large tub similarly to the fridge.
- The hinges for the cabinet are made from redgum hardwood with a 4mm tas oak dowel pin. Hinge is oiled, not varnished.
- I will probably put a decorative hardwood plate on the cabinet front where fingers push the toggling latch.
- Varnished with two coats of clear water based satin. Not overly impressed with the water base product, surprisingly easy to streak, but easy to clean up.

Camper Cabinet slow progress Pt4.

Slow progress as usual. Corona kicked everything in the teeth...and it's winter and cold and glue-ups for this job have been complicated. :(

The inside of the curved drawers have been skinned though not shown here. There's lots of trim work to do, and some design errors that I messed up due to radical changes part way through after my initial design went off the rails. I'll retro-fix a bunch of visible problems with some fancy trim or detailing of some sort...will work something out I guess. More work. :(

 

error: no leadership found.
