Almost Another Completed Cabinet

May 05, 2025 by David Snodgrass

As I inch towards completing another cabinet, I am reminded of the in-the-van, out-of-the-van pattern that develops when building one-off furniture. With each change or step, I need to recheck fitment in the van. I also need to have attachment points designed that allow for this, as well as methods to fully secure the furniture once complete.

The sink cabinet is a bit heavier than the previous cabinet. It will hold water jugs and also include a folding counter top extension and a step for climbing into the bunk. All this requires sturdier panels, which will adds some weight.

I should be able to do one last sanding in the morning and begin priming and painting. Thankfully the weather has improved enough that I can do the in the garage.
