Overview of new workshop closed for travel, November 23, 2009

Let me introduce to you my new metalworking/leatherworking/maybe-even-woodworking (heaven forbid) foldaway travelling studio workshop and storeroom. This is an evolving project and this basic framework should give me some good bones to build on.

What do we see here?

We see a new tool chest in place of the old overcab mattress and fold-up cab access panel (the mattress got recycled into a simplified sofa bed in my study).

We see a solid wall panel separating my new studio from the dinette. In this wall is the old generator control panel and a new HPV-22B controller for my new solar battery charging system. Above those is a sliding access panel to leather storage behind. Not visible is a new 120 volt receptacle and 12 volt switched jacks in the forward end of the dinette overhead cabinet. You can see dangling a couple of 12 volt LED lights I'm experimenting with that plug into those switched jacks.

Tomorrow I'll reveal the magically transformative heart of this project.
