      this is by far the best build of the project M, I would love to see a video of the door when installed!

    Did you happen to make a video of the raising cabinet and how that is possible?

    • @kenthompson2308

      I did not, I may have some still photos of adapting the desk lift and install.

    Where are the large somewhat obtrusive side shelves that come as part of the Project M? I don't see them in your Project M (like where you have that seat).

    • @kenthompson2308

      They are still there under the bench and concealed in the cabinet. They are there to provide structure so I didn’t alter them other than a few fasteners.

    Such an awesome build, everything looks professionally done! Can you share the lift you use for the microwave cabinet?

    • @kenthompson2308
      @kenthompson2308 Před měsícem

      It’s a repurposed desk lift. Found it on Craigslist. I installed it upside down so the motor is on the bottom. I needed to extend the controller so it could be operated in the microwave cabinet. It was the easiest, least expensive option I could find. I had originally planned on using 2- 12v dc synchronized linear actuators and controller. $500 verses less then $100 was one reason for going this route. Another was simplicity and time savings. It checked all the boxes for operation and had the weight capacity required. Down side is weight and needing ac voltage. I couldn’t find a 12v dc to 12v ac converter so I ended up with the small 300 watt pure sine inverter I talked about in the video.

    What's the total price please.

    • @kenthompson2308
      @kenthompson2308 Před měsícem

      Hard to say, but I would guess around 17 grand in materials and parts not including the many hours of labor. I purchased the camper used for $9000 and had many of the main components from a previous build. Big ticket items other than the camper would be the electrical system-lithium batteries and components including solar panels, inverter(s), etc.. The aluminum tubing and sheet was around $1200. Again, pretty tough to estimate as I did it over the winter and had many of the parts already. Thanks for the question!

      For real! I was looking on the internet for floor heating small spaces and i found electric sheets to continue the electric camper theme but this is legit.

      @@xLopez210x I had thought about installing a 120v ac immersion heater in the radiant tank for when I’m at home to keep the camper floor above freezing so I wouldn’t need to fully drain the freshwater tank. Good chance I’ll do that before next winter. I didn’t mention that I used a low viscosity radiant fluid in the heating system rated to -40. Since I used aluminum for the tank I wanted something not only for freeze protection but also corrosion inhibitors. Thanks for the comment and enjoy your build!

      @@kenthompson2308 thanks for the info! I definitely need to not only weigh the pros and cons but my skill level as well. I can do some minor plumbing and mimic what i see but my field is in electronics and welding. It’ll be funny having a badass electrical setup but the camper looks like crap 🤣

    So, ummm a serious question now… Want to build me a 36” version of this?

    • @kenthompson2308
      @kenthompson2308 Před 2 lety

      Sorry, I’m retired! That said this is considered a 36 inch oven by most standards. The exterior dimensions are determined by the amount of insulation that is used.

  • @kenthompson2308
    @kenthompson2308 Před 2 lety

    I have around between $3500 and $4000 in parts. Labor not counting planning was 300-350 hours.

    Here through pizza dough addicts. Bloody amazing work! Beautiful oven. You could build and sell these for big bucks. Out of curiosity what did the build cost you in total? How many hours did you spend on it? Bravissimo!
