building the Bullet XV

starting the main cabinets, finally got my cocky confidence back, so these will be way more complicated than needed.
we all do this for the challenge

Dude! I have an MFA but I suspect you're in architecture.....yet no? You guys always end up designing furniture....LOL ! Not to mention cocky................
 
Well, the curves have taken on a life of their own!
Sometimes I feel like I'm an employee of the camper I'm creating,
having a blast with wood though, the people around the shop complex that I'm renting have started calling me the woodworking guy, I guess that's a compliment, because I am moving faster now.
The inside's starting to come together, I haven't compromised on ANYTHING, every piece has been cut, scribed, routered, sanded, as though it was all exposed (i've done ALOT of hand sanding.. ... I mean ALOT)

Dude! if your not using power tools your not....well you know!
 
Some extremely nice work you are doing. Great to see something other than square, square, rectangle, square. Nice curves, softens things way up.
 
I'm about winding down on all the curvy parts,until drawers & doors.
had another blast yesterday, cutting,scribing,fitting (usually re-cutting) again.
the dressers are next,(those will be straight - complicated but straight)
off to portland this weekend (yup, in the FWC)

I'm absolutely in awe by your project. That's some incredible craftsmanship. I'm building a very humble, small camper shell for my truck. Since you're in Oregon as well, may I ask you where you got the aluminum skin and the windows from? What alloy and thickness did you choose for the skin?

Thanks, and good luck finishing up your camper!
