I have an AlumaBox mounted to the rear door of my Jeep for storage... I was very surprised to find that when I tried to get a padlock through the lock holes, the rivets to hold the latches on were riveted the wrong direction... The longer pin on the rivets block the lock shackle from going in...

40 - Awning Lights and Bag Hanger (above) Two, clear, bright white, LED awning lights were added to the rear cabin just below the awning... They put out a lot of light, (read a newspaper from 20' away) are a bit cold, maybe too bright, but awe unobtrusive... Thinking that when the awnings are...

39 - Casework and veneer... (above) The casework edge and face at the sink and door, was scribe for a consistent reveal with the sink then sanded to the curve with a 7" disk sander/grinder... Glad I've shaped a lot of wood surfboards with a tool similar to this... Get a lot done, fast... Risk...

37 - Zebrawood Veneer and Drawer Boxes... (above) One sheet of Zebrawood veneer for the lower casework... Was thinking of going with something not as costly, but I feel I must carry on the tradition... (above) 1/2" plywood drawer boxes with box joint corners...
