Beautiful work!

Take it easy on the heat! A few years ago I overdid things in the Texas heat - not as high as Phoenix, but maybe a little bit more humidity - and ever since I can't be outside for a long time when it is above 90-95 degrees.

Take care,
Tom

I’m terrible about posting updates here. Rest assured I’m still plugging away.

I know it's just an optical illusion based on the angle from which you took the photo but the countertop looks like it's sagging.


Nice work.

Nice work.

And it’s a live edge adding to the illusion.

Very little left now. I’ve been procrastinating on the rear hatch lifts. I’d like to get them right the first try. Anyway the cabin is done.

Why not build a mockup on a flat board just to get all the geometry set. Some people have even just attached a mockup board right to their inside galley wall and used trial and error to find the best mounting locations, and then transferred to the actual wall.

I would be just as concerned with making or using adequately strong bracketry and mounting reinforcements, so as to avoid blowouts. I think people tend to underestimate the leverage multipliers involved, and some of the readily available ball stud brackets (and fastenings) just aren't up to the task. Well documented elsewhere on the forums.
