Hi, what are you using in the way of wood to make the interior, as I'm going to be tackling the interior in mine soon?

[jamesc76]

It's all pine and ply wood either 6mm or 12mm, tho worktop is 28mm house one that's been very well sealed up!

Thanks for that, I don't suppose that you have plans for what you built as it looks really good, just what I'd like to build? Or failing that some more pictures from other angles?

[jamesc76]
