Home Improvements #1.2

Building cabinetry for a camper is tricky for a couple reasons. 1. It has to be as light as possible - forget the traditional thinking of using big lumber. 3/4" plywood? Forget it. It's 1/4". Stuff is flimsy but if built right, it will withstand the bumps in the road. 2. The other is that there is not a lot of room for "riffing".... literally. Every inch of space is valuable. Next time you are on a flight somewhere, check out the galley. Exactly. Jscott and I made some serious progress. I worked on the facia and he milled down some hardwood for the upper and lower door tracks. These are critical. They have to be strong and compact. Pure genius. I think that it's going to work well. The glue is drying and still need to stain it. More later.

The only "real oak" in the camper.
