more interior progress pics from this past weekend
at this point I'm flying by the seat of my pants, making stuff up as I go (too many specific dimensions & details to pre-think)
this next week I start the kitchen cabs

Hey man, who cares. You have got some really nice curves and lines throughout. Should make for an enjoyable retreat. Worth the effort I'd say to keep it from being mundane.
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)
Making the raised shelves behind the counter, & finishing the short walls at the cabover bed area

Some extremely nice work you are doing. Great to see something other than square, square, rectangle, square. Nice curves, softens things way up.
I agree!!!! I like soft things.....:sombrero:

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!
