Thank you very much for this video, sir! A 57 year old lady ( I 😉) from Germany was able to adapt some of your ideas to build a kitchen with several drawers for her Renault Duster (here it's named Dacia Duster), and I'm nearly done with the building process. The raptor liner on the front still has to dry another 23 hours, I still have to cut and tape the diamond rubber onto the deck. Best part of all that work: I'm able to install and deinstall every part of that alone, even if I'm several years older. It's a lightweight modular build and it suits my needs pretty fine. Your build is by far the most interesting one for an suv kitchen that is limited in height and doesn't have the usual sleeping platform. Thank you again very much! 🤗
I have been a woodworker for over 35 years and learned a few things through trial and error. One of those is never edge screw plywood, even when glued it will eventually fail. When structural rigidity is important I'll use 1/4 round on the inside corner. Yes you sacrifice a little space but if a platform collapses in the middle of the night it could be a little frustrating. Another suggestion is to remove sections of the plywood where you can. Mostly divider walls and bottoms as this can save both material (with the cost of wood being ridiculous) and weight (fuel savings). But if these 2 things aren't important no I deal.
Thank you so very much for this video. I've watched dozens of RU-vid videos trying to find the right kitchen build for my Land Rover and this set up is the only build that I've come across that is totally ideal for my needs. I love how I'll still maintain the use of my back seats for more passengers and have a great kitchen. Thanks again 😆👍👌
Some good ideas in this design, for sure. I’m working on my second design for my 4Runner, with a version of it, permitted me to sleep inside, and still accommodating the fridge, and some sort of battery set up (right now I’m using a 12 V 100 amp power LiFePO4 with a 1200W inverter).
Astonish! It takes the breath away! You should start to manufacture this! Try with a few units and you will see the results. It may fit on other vehicles too.
....was'nt terrible?!!! It was the best I saw about this item! Not to fast, not to slow. Nice to see first the result and than how to make it. You make it look easy to make. You flatten bumps to start with it. When people want to camp with theire car it is possible now. When you gat to buy this new, it will set you back much more than the double of this!
Retired, disabled, 70++Wood-logger,(Northern Maine Woods, on Coast-of Maine , Now heading to property have not seen for 30yrars in Idaho & Montana as soon as I attempt to duplicate my vehicle & will use your ideas as a template. Hopefully you can give an old dinosaur 🦕 a shout, or head to the beautiful state of Maine. Now on coast of Maine. Great video, head to the great Northeast, before I head to Rocky Mountain area., would complete my bucket list👍🤜🤘🤜👊👊!!
Excellent video, very easy to follow! I want to build a similar unit for my 2004 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited (2-door). You mentioned an inexpensive pocket hole jig in the video but I didn’t see it in the tool list.
I see where your coming from! It might fit because of the stove my friend owns, maybe it’s different from yours. The wind guards go vertical and don’t jut out the sides at all so it fits like a champ while opened
Instantly subscribed. Bro, this content is amazing. Super thought out, thorough but not too slow, built and engineered fantastically. Can’t wait to see more. Thank you! 🙏🤙 Might have some questions on the base frame later on if it’s ok? *I’m stealing that attachable sink idea. Straight gold. 😏👌❤️
Por favor amigão e o meu sonho uma cozinha igual a está para por no meu palio weekend ano 2005 faz uma desta aí pra mim por um preço especial que vou representar suas vendas aqui no Brasil.
Hey! I noticed you have a Coleman grill, doesn't the propane go on the right side? Do you just store this in the drawer next to it? I am trying to figure out a build for my car. I've seen some where a similar grill is on the left with a circle cut out for the propane attachment but Im not a huge fan of it just hanging off. Would love some feedback. Thanks!
I love ALL of my Ryobi tools, in fact, I reached out to ask them to sponsor me because I love their tools so much (and they did). But it’s worth mentioning that the table saw isn’t actually Ryobi and I don’t remember what brand it was because I sold it a year or two ago. But I have owned multiple table saws and the answer to your last question depends on what you need the table saw for. If you need something compact that you can bring to a job site and you’ll only ever rip sheet goods or other small things, then an 8 1/4 would be fine, maybe even preferable if you get a battery powered one. But for home use I wouldn’t ever own a table saw that didn’t have these things 1) 10” blade 2) accepts a dado stack 3) 15 amps (and preferably at least 1HP)
In all 38 years of going to woodworking classes, building cabinets for 10 years, including a custom set for a NFL quarterbacks house (bubinga faces and countertop inserts) and teaching classes, I have never heard someone call anything a drawer or cabinet "carcass" . Frame, unit, assembly, sub-assembly are all the terms I have used. Carcass is something left over after a living organism dies.
The carcass is the framework of the cabinet itself, onto which doors are hung and drawers are fitted. An inferior carcass will not last and doors and drawers will sag in time. You may only see the carcass when a door or drawer is open, but the importance of quality materials can't be overestimated.
Haha after rewatching, you mentioned they were in fact 24inch sliders in the very beginning, thanks for confirming! Also love the build, I plan on making my own version and this was by far the most informative and helpful video yet! Your X is awesome!
I'd be careful overlanding with a Xterra. I had one for years and know first had that the suspension isn't very good. The Xterra is for when you need 4 wheel drive on bad dirt roads or if there is a little snow. DO NOT try to go on intermediate or advanced trails with your Jeep friends. It could end up consting you a lot of money.
If we’re being technical, there’s nothing you can do on a table saw that can’t be replicated with a circular saw. But having a table saw makes things faster and more accurate. As for me, I recommend to build this with a table saw!
