Pics of my new cupboards!

[uniB]

After much work I've finally got the cupboards in - yay! Still some finishing to do but thought I'd post a few pics. If anyone's interesting I've written up about them and how they were built (with a few more pics) at my blog which is here: http://t25camper.wordpress.com/

That's a bit flash.
Nice job.

Very impressive and professional looking!

Hope you don't mine me asking; where did you get the formica/laminate stuff from?

[lloydy]

Very, very nice. Your own design? Or some kind of kit?

[ricicles]

brilliant
i have an idea about the amount of time that went into that.

[uniB]

Thanks folks.

All my own design Lloydy. I'd actually like to develop a kit myself, although it'd have to be a simlified version of this. Plan is to get a second van to do up and deveop a design in – apparently I've got to get the house renovation finished before I'm allowed though – women!

DrHfuhruhurr – I got the Formica from Arnold Laver (http://www.laver.co.uk/). They get it from International Decorative Surfaces (http://www.laver.co.uk/) so it's probably cheaper if you can deal directly with them. I think you can also get it from Travis Perkins. The stuff I used is called colorcore which is the same colour all the way through, trouble is it's on the expensive side. The standard Formica is a bit more reasonable.

As long as i don't get outbid on ebay [ normally do ] i will have a van, that will end up with no interior or roof. If you want it, will cost very few shiney coins. Especially if you don't want engine and box

[weldore]

thats a great blog uniB..and those units look the dogs

[uniB]

I'm all for a project Lloydy but I think our lass would chuck me out iff I came home with an engine / roofless van!!

Glad you like the blog weldore, be good for me to read back through it when all is finally done (if it ever is!)

[gaz f]

Very very very nice.

I can only imagine the time and effort you've put into that!

[lloyd]

Real craftsmanship! Am doing similar to our van in near future... hope it turns out as well as yours.

All I can say is wow! I'm frightened to start mine now as it will look S..oooh inferior. Well done sir

[uniB]

Sure you'll be fine Jake – just keep it simple, if you're cutting our own timber make sure you've got a sharp blade and don't do anything when you're tired because that's when stuff goes wrong (and fingers come off!)

Many thanks for that uniB. We've got a couple of Travis Perkins's local to us so I'll check them out first.
