Making Things To Last
8:40am:
One thing that I've learned since beginning to RV is that stuff doesn't last. However, I always believed that if something could be made to last, that I would find a way to do it.
Scampy's kitchen is small. The kitchen's cabinet top consists of only the 2-burner stove top and the sink. An RVer will quickly arrive at the conclusion that the sink has to also serve as a counter.
We believe that most RVers who also have a small kitchen, likely cover their sink with a cutting board which serves as counter space. Then comes the challenge to make the cutting to board stay in place instead of sliding around.
Scampy's cutting board has a round dowel in two corners to do this task. The far end of the cutting board is against the faucet. Works great, except the dowels come loose! I've screwed the dowels to the underside of the cutting board. When that did not hold, Gorilla Glue was used together with the screws.
This solution did not last! What to do? A stainless flat head screw will go thru the top of the cutting board, thru the dowel and be secured with a lock nut.
The pics above show how the cutting board is secured now
