Coffee Van, another week

It has been a productive week, although it seems as though my life has become a cycle of list writing, running around town, achieving something while at the same time discovering something else which I need to attend to which I had hitherto been completely unaware. Yet I blunder along and this week has indeed been productive, including the aquisition of inverter, charger, deep cycle batteries, water tanks, gas bottle, water pump, fire extinguishers and pipe of various description. Now just need to bolt it all together in the appropriate configuration in readiness for the espresso machine, which was ordered today. On the earthquake front, was woken up by a rather large aftershock at around 6:20am. Almost three weeks on and the earth is still moving.

Looking good! What's the bench top made from?

I was originally looking for a solid timber slab, but at 900mm wide there isn't much around, and it would have needed to be cut in half to fit in as the rear door opening is smaller than the internal dimension. Went with hardwood ply clad with a sheet of copper. Good choice in that it looks super, although needs to be kept polished and copper is relatively soft, but I'm really happy with it. With the Rimu (a native New Zealand timber) panelling it goes really well with the old school van.

Looks awesome Quink. Well done. I can't believe the quake is still quaking. That's pretty serious.
