Thanks JePorter25 and StarSeeker for the encouragement! I do hope to be at the new Kyle Field next fall Aggie79! I was in Colege Station last weekend and couldn't believe how much Kyle Field was torn up!
I am at the cabinet making time in the build. I did not own nor have used a router table so I went and bought an entry level table. I spent lots of time reading articles and watching U-tube videos on the different techniques that I thought I might use in building the cabinets. I made quite a few mistakes (and will make more I am sure) but I have learned a lot. I started with the cabinets in the front of the Wyoming Woody design using the tongue and groove method that Ryan used in his build. I did make some small modifications to the base design with the big change being that I will have three cabinets instead of two. I will have two small ones on the sides and one larger one in the middle.
Here is a picture of the first completed tongue and groove headboard-side support on the drivers side of the cabin. Ryan was right, the pieces just friction-fit together so nice.
Here is the headboard with both the drivers side and the passenger side supports in place.
I then made the center supports for the top shelf. If you are familiar with the Wyoming Woody build you will see that I decided to make the support run from the floor to the top shelf instead of from the lower shelf to the top shelf. I am then going to add an opening shelf like in Wyoming Woody but for each of the three compartments. You can see that I also used tongue and groove for these supports as well.
I will be working to complete this cabinet in the coming week along with starting the galley/back cabinet structure.
Thanks for your interest and comments!
