NEW YEAR new progress.

A few different lines of progress over the Holidays.
Rebuilding my Auto Lamp 151







Next project was curbing.
3 layers plywood to get close to 3/4". 
The 5mm-1/4" I had didn't like to bend to well but the leftover wrap plywood did great.
 9mm-5mm-9mm Don't ya just hate this metric plywood.


Got the tail light blocks in and cut out while doing the curbing.

Interior of our modified surplus door got a wood veneer to make it fit in with the rest of the interior.
That pebble white plastic just wasn't gonna work for us.


And as a final bit of work for the New Year I got a few of our cork ceiling tiles installed so I could install the last light over the bench.
It's gonna be different but will add such a rich look when all is done.

Thanksgiving smorgasbord of work.

Countertop/Sink/Backsplash

Got half of our tin ceiling tiles done. Can hardly wait to get the empty spots filled with our cork tiles



Surplus door I bought was perfect...except it was 4" too tall. I had to take it all apart to cut down to the correct height.

Edge trim installed and sink cut out.


Not an original Scotty light, but it sure seems to fit right in.

Electrical getting started

Finally got around to the electrical.
WFCO WF-8735 Power center.
It has the 110v and the 12v converter all in one simple box.
I decided to use 12ga stranded THHN wire and conduit instead of household romex.
I was going to have some expose runs so I wanted the extra protection.









Just getting the 12v going.
Only 2 circuits for now.
All lights will be LED so not much power needed for those.
