Looks like a 1st class job! Why don't you show us one more pic in place in your camper when you install. Chuck
What did you do in your shop today?

Filled an order for a rabbit dish this afternoon.

Ain't much to look at but I figure the rabbits will chew this apple bowl up in short order anyway...

Cool little bowl,nice work.
You're spoiling the rabbits!
I think it may be the rabbit raiser I was spoiling. Besides it gives me an excuse to use the lathe. You know, those things you do when you 'run out' of projects...You're spoiling the rabbits!
Taking good care of the rabbet raiser is the top priority! Well done!
Work in the cluttered shop. Finally hung the French doors to get them out of the way!! Wish I had one of you here, there is a twist at the bottom that I think could be gotten out but I am stumped. Need some knobs, thinking of using antique door knobs as I have a source that is a antique hardware shop.
After winterizing the trailer, came back out and finished my “feature “ wall. Not good blue stain pine but it is just a shop. I have been collecting different old tools forever, now I have a place for them.

Really like your Pine interior siding! Things are really shaping up in your workshop! Getting organized is half the battle, it appears! Chuck
Had a meeting this evening and then got the drawer unit installed in the camper. Just need to install the latches when I get some screws - have a pair of small stainless steel barrel bolt latches I'll use. Drawers have full extension drawer slides - it worked out that I had two pairs of slides, the exact length I needed, on hand from a previous project that ended up not happening.
Wife and I are real happy with how this turned out. This will hold a lot of our kitchen/cooking things. Even though we now have the camper, we will still do the vast majority of our cooking outside - probably only cooking inside when it's raining or really cold. The location of these drawers is perfect because we'll be able to access them while standing outside the camper.
Now I'm eyeing up that little cabinet door on the side and wondering about how much larger it might be possible to make that opening and putting a single drawer in place of that little door.

It really is Chuck, at least for me. But was fun turning on the bandsaw for a couple little cuts. Nice to have things work after a year in storage. Even hung another roll of insulation after I posted my update.
Ah... for the rabbits to eat out of, not for eating rabbits.
Yeah, too many flaws to hold soup
Looks good. I take it too much of a headache to have attached the drawer unit from within the cabinet? That way the screws would have been hidden. As for the safety latches, are you going to use the same size that are in other places in the RV? Might be a good thing being able to interchange parts (in case something breaks).
The French doors and t&g wall are nice touches. Will provide a homey, comfortable surrounding to the workshop.
Yeah, pretty much an impossibility to attach it from within the cabinet - I had given some thought to how that might be done, but a solution was not achievable for that. There are no other drawers in the camper, so no drawer latches to match. I had a couple barrel bolt latches on hand and plan to use those.
We plan to keep this camper for a long time, but if we ever want to put the microwave back in, or sell it and the buyer wants the microwave back in, the frame for the microwave will hide the holes from the screws holding in the drawer unit.

Well thought out plan and execution. Looks good!
I do not know what you mean by that statement! I have a seemingly endless supply ordered for me!!!
Well, I finished it almost, still need a bunch of sanding inside the spirals.
I used the chattering effect it was doing to my advantage on the ends. Came out pretty neat.

Hey it was just a question I found on one of my woodworking groups I thought would be a good QotW. Heh heh heh....
