you are exactly right if its not done we are prepared to tent camp as we have all our gear thats just a goal ..personally the way i work is i need a goal or i wouldnt get anything lol each weekend i have a small goal for the trailer like this past weekend was to get the interior cabinets finished ..do you have a build log on yours? i would like to see if you do

 

[dales133]

Yea.
Its titled "ok here we go"
I built my own trailer as well and its got underfloor storage ect witch has been a massive hold up for me.
Be interested to here what you think

So today my goal was to get all the cabinets finished I decided on making simple shaker style cabinet doors , this was my first time making cabinet doors and I am really happy how they turned out , the galley cabinets open normally but the interior cabinets open towards the ceiling
I made them out of 1x4 fir boards I ripped down to 1x2s and then cut a 1/4" groove down the center to accept the plywood center. I made them with traditional styles and rails with mortise and tenons

This was my plan for what I wanted the doors to look like

This was my first glimpse of what they would look like

Bottom doors all finished and hung came out way better than I expected.. Still need the stainless door pulls

Top galley cabinets all finished.
thats not stove installed just the cover to make sure the cabinets have room to open up over it

Interior cabinet doors all finished

I found these hinges at habitat 4 humanity for 50¢ each which was perfect for the over head opening

Well that's all for today next on my list is either the ceiling or installing the stove and sink. The stove is off Amazon and the sink I got the idea from a fellow member on here , its a half steam pan 6" deep from a kitchen supplies store that I am going to install a drain in , it was $9 and a typical stainless sink is way more than that

Thanks for looking

Looking good! I really like the Shaker style. In fact, I just ordered Shaker style doors and drawer fronts. Wish I had the skill to build them like you did. Bryan

Thanks man I really appreciate it, I have never done cabinet doors before and all I used was a table saw I just watched a few videos and made a practice door and went for it

looks great Hartk.

you are making great progress. I like the cabinet doors. you are giving me the confidence to try that myself. although I am in a time crunch as I move in two months. so I need to get the exterior together then I can add finishing touches.

how is your weight coming out? I am trying to make mine lightweight, but it looks like yours is coming together faster...

thanks man, check out this video this is the video i watched that taught me how to do those doors they are super simple and easily made. as for the weight i dont know exactly there is a semi truck scale that is near my house that im going to have to take it to soon but until then i wont know the weight ..but weight isnt really going to be a factor as i am going to be towing it with a full size pick up and wont come near the towing capacity of it with the TD

thanks for checking it out i subscribed to yours to watch it come together good luck

Not really an update on the build but just wanted to show our two new additions that are going to go on top of the trailer ..I am going to reinforce the roof and build a roof rack to hold these up there too

Nice build & it's looking like a trailer! Good job with the doors as they aren't as easy as you make them appear to be, it looks nice with things in place.
