Lowly Update:
With the countertop curing its Tung oil coating I located, drill and installed helical screw inserts into the end to help fasten the right end to the pantry wall.
Before the kitchen cabinets could be glued in I took the opportunity to shoehorn in the air conditioning / heating...
Lowly Update:
Cabinets toward the front of the habitat are now installed (mostly).
With front cabinetry stuck in place, the rear cabinetry was dry-fit. Everything in the rear ties together so it was one gigantic 3D puzzle that took custom fitting for every part.
With kitchen cabinets...
Lowly update:
Cabinet installation continues. Despite my best efforts to dial in the solid models while designing the cabinets there is enough out-of-square-ness in the CNC cut cabinet parts and the habitat that nearly every part is needing some sort of "customization" to make it possible to...
Lowly Update:
Cabinet component installation has begun. Started with the front area of the habitat that contains the fresh water tank:
Glueing these parts in place was like setting a cornerstone - hopefully they are in the correct place because everything else will be located off them...
Lowly Update:
Dry fitting of cabinet components continues.
The interior sides of the electrical cabinet were laid out, components were distributed and their mounting holes marked/drilled for ease of installation once the cabinets are installed.
The nerve wracking process of cabinet...
Lowly Update:
As cabinetry component preparation continues the various 3D printed parts I've designed to integrate into the plywood cabinets were needing to be fabricated for test fitting purposes.
Mount brackets for the two types of water filter wrenches:
Mount bracket for the 50 micron...
Lowly Update:
Part of the shop has been turned into a cabinet preparation workspace. The backside of a multitude of these components will need additional dados (the side that was faced down on the CNC router table). These will be achieved by layout drawings off the solid model, straight...
Lowly Update:
Just back from another trip down the Grand Canyon and the CNC router was busy while I was away. A van full of 12mm and 18mm Baltic birch plywood pieces was waiting my return:
Many of these parts need secondary operations (bevels on the table saw or blind slots on the back...
Sunroofs: front, no. rear, yes with no issues. not sure if they leak as the truck has been stored indoors since purchase.
3 Amigos: they've been dormant since I replaced the ABS modulator shuttle valve switch
4Lo: smooth all around

Lowly Update:
Well, ExPo's thumbnails continued to poop their pants so I took the time to go back and swap out every thumbnail I've posted with its full sized image - not as easy to view with the included text, but hey, this is a free service so I can't complain too much.
Lots of CAD work has...
