Thanks young fellah - like many folk I’m just about to start fitting out the canopy with my own hand built cupboards and fridge slide - I think the timber sprayed or satin black looks so much better than stained despite the fact I go for Cabots timber stain with all the indoor furniture I’ve made - I also finish off with a carpet exterior for a premium look - loved the little one’s critique and the makings of a cabinet maker👷🏻‍♀️

[@OutNAboutAustralia]

No worries mate glad to help. You’re not wrong she’s always keen to jump in and have a go 👍🏽 I’m happy with the carpet look and probably wouldn’t change it but I’ve caught myself wondering how the stained look would go instead 😂

[@frankkerwick1084]

Once again that looks awesome 👌 👏 👍

[@OutNAboutAustralia]

Thanks Frank, Appreciate it mate 👍🏽

[@jamesgless1537]

Like your fit out and ideas and being on a budget.

[@OutNAboutAustralia]

Thanks mate, appreciate that 👍🏽

[@photografiq_presents]

you should turn the music up in the mix and then lower your voice volume even more. Its awesome

[@johnsonglenn82]

Too deadly brutha, looks amazing and thanks for sharing the tips.

[@OutNAboutAustralia]

No worries 🤙🏽

[@lyndoncarter1528]

You did a great job

[@OutNAboutAustralia]

Thanks Lyndon, Appreciate it 👍🏽

[@geoffstein3896]

Awesome mate 👍

[@OutNAboutAustralia]

Thanks Geoff

[@ashleymauro316]

Nice work mate 👍🏼

[@OutNAboutAustralia]

Thanks mate Appreciate it 🤙🏽

[@wolfoffroad]

The black works mate. Noice.

[@OutNAboutAustralia]

Thanks mate. I reckon so too 👌🏽

[@wolfoffroad]

@@OutNAboutAustralia how did the spray glue work? Any good?

[@OutNAboutAustralia]

Worked great mate, just let it get tacky then stuck it down 👌🏽

[@Bellslineroad]

Hey mate, how did you mount it to the floor of the canopy ? Also how did you figure the dimensions of how much smaller the drawer needed to be from the outer box. Cheers

[@OutNAboutAustralia]

Hey Izzy, I mounted it down with L brackets from Bunnings. When building the interior drawer, I matched the drawer runners for length and just subtracted the width of the drawer slides from the outside edges and cut the front edge to the size I wanted.

[@michaeljenkyns1719]

Looks nice and simple Awesome job mate

[@OutNAboutAustralia]

Thanks mate. Appreciate it 👍🏽

[@1993Revhead]

Cheap, budget and bunnings to not align in 2024. hahaha

[@OutNAboutAustralia]

God I hope not, I'll be broke real quick hahaha

[@Tongsy101]

Love the work mate! Can’t beat a custom setup, only thing I’d recommend as a cabinet maker by trade, PVA is a lot easier and cleaner to work with than liquid nails 😂 besides that and predrill your screw holes she’s mint 👌

[@OutNAboutAustralia]

Thanks for the tips mate. Looks like I may have to redesign the fridge box so I’ll be sure to use them.

[@holdenman8850]

I hope you paid your staff well mate.. great job.. where did you get the carpet and draw runner from?

[@OutNAboutAustralia]

Plenty of lollies in her pay packet mate 😂 Carpet I got from Bunnings and the drawer runners from Dunn and Watson. There should be a few links in the video description 👍🏽

[@holdenman8850]

@@OutNAboutAustralia thanks mate I will have a look later :)

[@standupandskate]

How did you mount the fridge inside the box though?

[@OutNAboutAustralia]

Haven't mounted it in the box mate. I made the box a tight fit so it doesn't move, also it's close enough to the canopy door to never slide out while driving.

[@standupandskate]

@Out N About Australia does the fridge come forward at all, or does it stay put on the carpet with its own weight.

[@OutNAboutAustralia]

@@standupandskate It stays put mate. I haven't had it move at all on me yet!

[@braedenclarke8519]

What spray paint did you use?

[@OutNAboutAustralia]

Hey mate, just used a cheap acrylic from Bunnings. Definitely could’ve used some better quality stuff but figured it wouldn’t be seen much either way 😂
