Anyone interested in 83 Pace Arrow Tear down and Rebuild?

I take it the weather is too bad to be working on the project. Low 50's in upstate Sc today/

I pulled out the partially finished kitchen sink to have another look at it.

I made up a temporary frame for the outside, to simulate a counter top. Purpose is to figure out how to mount this to the counter.

At that point I used a piece of wood to prop the door open for the picture. No, that is not my permanent door holder, just in case you wondered.

After purchasing a set of hinges today, I installed them and fastened the door to the front.

After removing the clamps, I glued and nailed my plywood to the frame. I need to countersink the nails yet.

Then, I used my portable router and trim bit to cut the hole out.

One of the last steps to do before gluing the plywood front on, was to add a piece of wood the the front of the shelf. That will give a ledge to keep things from sliding out willy nilly when opening the door.

I will probably add a bungie cord, or something similar part way up the opening, to also keep items in place.

That glue will be dry tomorrow, and I can glue the plywood front on.

I'll have to pick up a pair of hinges for the door yet.

Next, I cut, trimmed and sanded a 1/8" thick piece of plywood, that will be glued over the framing. Here again, was another test fit.

I will say, having curves on the ceiling, or anywhere else, does indeed complicate things just a little bit, when it comes time to make them fit.

Alrighty. Now that the glue has dried for the door over the toilet, I clamped it in place to check the fit, and am happy with how it is looking so far.

Then after applying glue, it's time to apply weight. Paint and tools make wonderful weights for smaller jobs.
