I continue with the smaller details of the kitchen cabinet in preparation of the water supply & drain and several electrical cables. Continue reading Kitchen Cabinet Details
Building a box into the kitchen cabinet, that will hold the induction cooktop. Finishing it off with some Formica.
I’m continuing with the kitchen cabinet assembly in the RV. It’s mostly gluing the separate parts together, but I sometimes use screws, allowing me to access hidden parts of the kitchen cabinet. After another fit in the cargo van, I outline the location for the induction cooktop, but that’s for next time. Continue reading Kitchen Cabinet Assembly

After finishing up the legs, I will continue to apply Formica on most of the remainder of the Murphy bed and then install the upper cabinets above the bed.
