I'm glad you asked. First of all, we take a little of said black walnut dust and put it aside.
By the way.... When you are sanding, it's a good thing to save some of the sanding dust that you created while doing said sanding.
Say What???
Say What???
Sanding, sanding, sanding.
Sanding, sanding, sanding.
Keep that puppy sanding.
Sanding, sanding, sanding.
Did I mention I was sanding today????
Ah, yea. I cut some more strips today for the passenger side shelves, and then proceeded to sand them.
Once you get to the point, when you put the sander down for a minute, and your hands are still tingling and vibrating, you know it's time to stop.

I also laid down the black walnut pieces that I plan on using for the counter top on this side. I stepped back, and took a picture.
No, they are not fastened down yet, nor are they joined together in the middle.
However, once all of these have a finish on them, I think they will look pretty cool. Well, I must admit, I do like the look of black walnut, so I may be slightly opinionated.
Anyhow, the lighter plywood will make for a nice contrast between the two.

I started cutting these up yesterday on my table saw, and then the electric went out, and that was the end of my night.
These are the strips for the passenger side shelves.

After a couple of false starts today, I finally did get to the motor home and managed to get the frame glued and nailed to the plywood shelving area.
I did need to add a little support in the center up at the ceiling while waiting for the construction adhesive to cure.
Had a bunch of other stuff going on today, and as usual, getting the frames installed took longer than I was hoping for.
That means the mower isn't fixed, the yard isn't mowed, and the face frame on the passenger side isn't installed either. Lol...
Hope your week is off to a great start!

I finally managed to get the rest of the pieces built for the drivers side shelf facings. I tried a couple of different configurations for the upper cabinet area.
I finally settled on a combination, and finished cutting, gluing, and screwing the rails and stiles into place.
Everything is now together. Nothing left to do but to add glue and fasten it to the plywood.
I was hoping to have that done by now, but some family issues prevented me from doing that. Not my niece this time. Lol.
Need some coffee and an energy drink tomorrow morning! Wahoo....

Went to put in a screw in the shelving face today, and found that it wasn't possible with this particular screw. Oops....
Here is a picture of the K4. The adjustment for different thickness stock is accomplished with a nut and threaded rod to get you close. (red arrow).
The red circle shows the arm to finish tightening the clamp and holding the stock in place.
Here is where the biggest difference is. The holes are drilled from the opposite side of where the clamp is.
When you are using small stock, it should not be a huge pain to deal with.
If on the other hand, you are drilling holes in a 2' x 6' piece of 3/4" plywood, now it becomes an issue to unclamp, move the piece, and reclamp, then go to the other side to drill the hole.
I say that, not based on my experience, but watching reviews of others, who brought that situation up. After looking at that, I decided to have both the final clamping and the drilling on the same side.
If on the other hand you don't use larger pieces of wood, it should not matter.
One more item. I saw one person with a K4, who removed the original clamp system like is shown here, and mounted an air cylinder in it's place.
He then mounted a foot switch on the floor, which controlled the air cylinder and clamped and unclamped the stock. It made that portion of the operation quick and easy.
If the jig is always mounted on a bench and never moved, that seems like a good idea.
Yup, another long winded answer to a simple question! Lol...
