Dipi Das - Very nice build

[Gromett]

I have been planning my next self build and doing some trawls on youtube for ideas.

This guys is a brilliant joiner and has come up with a seriously interesting vehicle. Not suitable for me but beautiful none the less.

This is one video of a series. I am still working my way through them..

This is the thing that really caught my attention. Looking forward to my new kitchen worksurface

Looks nice but Unfortunately though, is that it will only last a year, especially the worktop, the timber he has used with the thickness it will cup in the heat and damp of a Motorhome and will be so distorted it will be unworkable and probably split... real wood moves, that’s why they use engineered wood in Motorhomes.

Hijacking the thread we saw a wonderful little MH today based on a Morris Minor. Possibly a pickup or shooting brake version as the base they had built a very boxy living compartment on the back. Looked very neat though they probably had to sleep standing up.

What’s wrong with warped n’ cracked...

Adds character... just like moi

Warped n’ cracked... still working towards character

On the subject of interesting self builds...I was chatting yesterday to someone about a cement mixer which had been converted to a motor home using the large mixing chamber and it had a large drop down patio area at the back...
No photos, but I've asked if he can put me in touch with the builder. ..

I disagree. I have used wood of the same thickness in my self build and it hasn't cupped yet after 8 years. I do know what you mean though. The trick I found was to to protect both sides with multiple coatings.. My first attempt at cupboards had this problem.

Plenty of fixings help too so it can't move/distort.
