the camper project in the back shed

This is very interesting JB.  Did you just put it aside one day then forget about it?  Do you still have it and do you plan to complete it at some point?

Thanks Jack......The BMF application was very challenging for me and I was getting a bit heavy handed......in addition I needed a small piece of 0.25" steel in order to fabricate a removable table top with a perfectly perpendicular mount.....I wanted a specific piece,from a specific donor and it ran into several weeks waiting on that piece.....when I began acquiring old library cabinets,my focus went to carpentry and construction,were it lingered (malingered?) for a long time......some day,if the creek don`t rise,I`ll get `er done

John:  I built that camper model when I was a kid 50 years ago.  I remember it well.  Sad I no longer have it after several moves, I'm sure it got destroyed.  Your build looks amazing.  I hope one day you will finish it.

Thank you John......I didn`t know the history of releases went back that far.......men look at campers like women do at spike heeled shoes.....we look,we dream.....we forget that we already own it,somewhere off in the closet

I can see why your interest was diverted to building those awesome display cabinets.  That's what I need at my place right about now.

@jack-dodds  .....technically I didn`t build `em Jack .....I decreased the depth and wired them with led runs.....thanks to my Pro-Grade OCD,I stuck it to "The Man" for MONTHS of labor and cost overruns

would you like to see some of the display shelf install details ?

JB I marvel at your talent especially your ability to do this while working on water.
