I also do some metal working and fabrication.
Here is a picture of the rolling bench I built a couple years ago. It's been getting a workout lately.

I'm not sure which Kreg pocket screw set I have, but it was close to $90.00 when I bought it. The key is the special drill bit with the stop collar.
And as far as my 12 inch chop saw, I use a fine toothed carbide blade for all this oak I've been cutting. I switch back to a rough cut carbide blade for cutting construction lumber.

The camera is a small Canon Power Shot SD940 IS, 12.5 Mega Pixels.

Gadget Man,

Thank you for the pics and info. It appears I have the same DeWalt chop saw that you do. Good to know so will shop for a fine tooth carbide blade.

I think your Kreg Pocket screw set is the "Master System." I think I will order it since it isn't that expensive and seems to do quite a lot for the money.

Again, thank you for the tips.

Kreg Pocket screws work great for making fast joints. Well worth the money for a kit.

My next project is building a medicine cabinet with a mirror for the bathroom.
I could have bought a cheap $29.00 plastic medicine cabinet at any big-box store, but that just would not fit in with the rest of my interior design.
So I decided to just build one. Here are a few pictures...

Here are a few pictures of it after I stained it and installed it today.

Another little project this afternoon.
I have this wood door blank in front of the sink. it was just held in with some cleats from the back. I knew some day I would do something with the big empty space behind it. so today I took it off and measured for another shelf to go behind this piece.
I installed some 1x2 strips on the sides and was able slide in this shelf from the back side, going in through my front cargo door.
Then I put hinges on the wood blank and made it a door. I installed chains so it will only open 90 degrees.
Its a great space for towels and light things.
I will still have to cut a U shaped slot in the shelf so my sink P-trap will fit, but there is still a lot of extra space gained. I mentioned before that I plan on using every spare inch of possible space. This is one more example.

Thanks Pete.
You and Don seem to be my biggest fans on this site. I appreciate all of the encouragement.
I hope some of my ideas and photos will help others with their builds. I know when I built my Weekender Tiny Trailer a few years back, I spent months reading every page on this site before I started my build.
The old saying that a picture is worth a thousand words really comes true when building something like a camper trailer.

Today I continued with a couple comfort items in the bathroom area. With the little porta-potty (which I doubt if I will ever use, but my wife will) you have to have a paper holder, no not a magazine rack, (although that may come later), I'm talking a toilet paper holder.
I needed a holder that would not take up much space. so I went with one that's indented into the wall. The area I picked is in a false wall that hides my batter box. It's accessible through the front cargo door going into my electrical and plumbing area.
I also made a nice matching oak board for a towel / coat rack. I just hung up a couple $.98 chrome hooks. It will be a good place to hang a jacket.

Very Nice Build, did you put the cabnets and walls on top of the rubber flooring, or did u cut out for the walls and such.

Thanks

Johnnie

[k1hog]

Also what did u use on the walls and celings?

Thanks

Look back in my pictures from the post I made on the rubber floor mat.
I laid that in way back before I started any of the cabinets or counter top.
It covers the floor entirely. Everything is on top of the rubber mat.

My walls and ceiling are stock from the manufacturer. It's white 1/4 inch luan wood. Not very sturdy at all, actually it's sort of cheap. I cant screw anything into the walls alone. everything is screwed into the metal studs.

Yes, from the photos, it did look like all was on top of the mat, I wanted to make sure. With that said, were there any issues with rock or give of the cabnets or wall due to the give of the mat?

I ordered my trailer with the walls insulated and covered, but with the celing not covered or insulated, which will require me to insulate and cover the celing, do you have any recomendation on what to cover the celing with?

Thanks

I looked at your pictures, top notch work. I did not see an tie downs for the motor cycle, are they in the floor, if so are you going to cut the mat to expose them, that is if they are in the floor.

Thanks
