Well I'm back from my vacation! The truck isn't though, my girlfriend kept it for the week to try and tidy up/finish up a few things. We made an insane amount of progress though and after this week the woodworking portion of the camper will be done.
First thing to do was help my girlfriend set her woodshop back up. This was the first time she's had a functional shop in about 9 years. It was also the first time her big table saw has run since her dad passed away. It was very cool to see her get so into it.
The shop:
Wiring the saw to run for the first time in almost a decade.
Cutting the main bulkhead with space for cabling and pex piping. It's cabinet grade 3/4" birch 9ply as are all the cabinet runners.
The rear all decked and sided. The floor is 1/2" ply my GF had laying around..
Girlfriend super proud of her hard work. (I am too!)
Drawer runners installed into the bulkhead and floor.
Test fitting the decking. Everything will hinge up from the sides with gas struts. The center will have 2 removeable pieces 15" wide and 20.5" long that just sit on some furring. They are removable and will screw into custom mounts for camp tables.
The drawers all cut and slotted. They're cabinet gradr 1/2" birch 5 ply with 5mil ply bottoms slotted and glued in.
Test fitting everything after sanding/routing.
Glued, clamped and Brad nailed.
Test fitting the stove in it's drawer, fits like a glove baby!
Custom stovetop drawer installed and fitted! Aint it snazzy?
All that's left for woodworking is to mount the 2nd drawer and hinge all the cabinets for the top lift.
Not gonna lie, I had so much fun doing this. I'm not a woodworker, but I learned a ton! The quality is just unreal as well, I couldn't have ever come up with something this well built and lightweight on my own. The entire build is 2, 1/2" sheets of plywood and about 2/3 of a 3/4" sheet of plywood. Hats off to the fabulous GF for all her help!
