Today was spent butchering some ply, the Westy bed base to be exact.

Drop down door marked out. The bacon sandwich was very nice.

The router came out for the edge trim slot in the panel and door.

I bought some American cherry veneer a while back just for this.

Glued and clamped. Next job is trimming the veneer, a bit of oil to finish and then the edge trims can be glued on.

'butchering some ply' you say? Mate, that looks a cracking job, quality workmanship!
 
Diesel heater fuel tank arrived and has been fitted.
That was a nice easy job that took most of the day because someone had previously bolted a remote oil filter housing under the battery tray.

Really like that solution for the fuel tank (looks lovely work as well!) - would have much preferred to put mine then if I didn't have the second battery in that location.

I was going to fit another battery there and then get a wedge shaped tank made that fitted in front of it between the spare wheel well and wheel tub.

That’s a neat idea.
Gets the fuel out of the living space.

Tricky to fill maybe?
Do you know someone that could make that wedge tank?
If so I’d appreciate their details please.

Nice work, where is your leisure battery going? I remember @Bundy put his at the front for better weight distribution and I would love to change the position of mine too for the same reason
