That is handy stuff. I have a 4ft X 12Ft X 36 in tall work bench that I help my Dad build 50 years ago. The 50 year old plywood was showing it's age. I reframed it to add 4 additional feet, added a 10ft wall vertically to add pegboard. I bought several panels to reface the cabinet. Even though it came "painted" I primed it, two finish coats. I installed vertically on the bench's face, new freshly painted 3/4" plywood on top of work surface, new hardware. Made for a killer work bench again. Felt like Dad was with me again while I was doing it.
That is looking great! I finished mine this summer( complete reno and wall repairs) thanks to your videos. Incredibly helpful for the repair techniques, router use and roof repairs. It turned out amazing and a true pleasure to spend time in. It's now nicer than my house in some ways :) Had 7 weeks of footage ready for my off-grid channel but a series of random failures had me loose every clip on my failed SSD. True sadness but huge thanks for sharing your work. A wealth of real gold on your channel. Best on YT. Cheers. Eric
All the materials you are using for this renovation are cumulatively very heavy. Do you have a target weight figure still allowing for full tanks, propane, and cargo and still be within specifications of the frame and axles?
They are actually not heavy. If you look at the demo series, you’ll be able to tell that I took out way more than I have put in. But yes-axel weight is always checked before any renovation. Sometimes manufacturers tote the line really close to begin with, so I have to make sure I have wiggle room. It’s all about give and take.
You said that you use 16 gauge nails in the aluminum studding. Have you had the nails come loose over time? I’m getting a lot of pointers from you, thanks. Have you renovated a slide in truck camper?
Some advice from one old workhorse to a young one: Purty please...limit your "knee" work the most you can. Hunting dogs wear out the more you work them and most lifelong joggers end up with strong hearts, but bad knees.

Thanks for the tip on the 16 ga nails. The router work was impressive. The home made trim was definitely a cost savings tip.

Aw man, that’s terrible! I know that was so frustrating!
Love the shiplap look. Great job! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you I never thought of using that for trim. I will be using that from now on. By the way awesome job
A comment for the algorithm...nice work
I like this shiplap. Did you put it right over other walls?

No, but that’s why I use liquid nails along with the 16 gauge nails. Double protection 😂
Never renovated a truck camper but I’m sure they’re constructed the same as a pull behind
GOOD JOB
why does Heather not like Target?
Check the comments of reno day 7 😂
