Wow! Started at the end of summer…which summer? That would have taken me about 27 yrs to do. Very nice work.

Excellent!! Every time I see one of these completed I swear I’m going to make one some day. I should actually just do it. I like the top of the cabinet and the antler usage.

Your avatar is aptly named. This is a project that goes far beyond just having woodworking skills. Something like this takes a true handyman.

Thanks for sharing.

great project! This is one I’d love to do. I think i could get my wife into camping if we had a safe place to sleep, and a “real” kitchen (for me) to cook in. Oh the vacation possibilities!

I like it. I have been seriously thinking of building a tear drop camper like yours using the method that is used to build a woodstrip canoe. Your canoe looks a lot like one I built many years ago. If I get really, really serious I would like to discuss this with you in much more detail.

I may be giving my hand at one of these this fall also. The band teacher at the school where I teach wants one. He has been talking about it for over a year, and finally this summer he said he gets a stipend check in October and he wants to start because all he ever did this summer was band practice during the week, and camping on the weekends.
