Started working today on the cabinet face framing today in the main cabin. The headboard cabinets will have Baltic birch panels and a maple frame. The upper cabinets will have the Baltic birch structure with maple frames also. But, to add a bit of character, I think I am going to use some leftover knotty alder for the door panels. We will have to see how they all go together before we build both doors. As you can see from the pictures, it is kind of slow going right now, but that’s teardrop time. The front cabinet is just a shallow open space divided into three sections. The outer sections will hold odds-and-ends like flashlights, books, games, etc… While the middle section will have a small space for toiletries and other items. The face of this cabinet is sloped so we can use it as a backrest for watching movies or reading if the weather keeps us inside. The main cabinet is quite large and the outer sections will probably be used to store clothes and have doors hinged in the center so you can get at things from inside or outside the tear. The center section will be left open on the off chance I can get a DVD player to put in there.

BTW: The pocket screw jig has become one of my favorite tools for this build. I probably have used almost 200 screws so far. I really don’t know how far I would have made it without it.
