Nice set up Errol! I don't Rv but see a few ideas I will blatantly Copy.

Errol,

Boy errol I just love to carve while out camping and if i ever came across your set-up at some camp ground in the future, you'll have a carving friend stop by for the day. Bill

Thanks for sharing your photos. I have been RVing since retirement ('96) and enjoy carving, but I don't have such an extensive workshop onboard. Some of my machines (bandsaw, etc) have to stay at home, so I plan ahead to prepare roughouts. Sometimes projects have to wait until I stop back by home to be finished.
I was a little concerned about the chisels in the pegboard brackets in your setup, considering how things bounce around when on the road. Perhaps you're not on the move as much as we.

Sweet set up with limited space. The best part is you don't have to worry about the wood chips.

Okay Errol, while I like your setup please park your RV far from the tented campsites where we normally set up. It's bad enough having to listen to those RV generators running without having to also put up with Dremels, Fordums and that Jig Saw!

When we're up in the Rockies smelling those pines and listening to the sounds of nature and then all of a sudden hear a Kutzall tearing into a piece of Tupelo we now know who to go looking for!!

(Only Kidding!)

Phil, those in the pegboard holders are not my carving chisels, but wood rasps and some wood files. My chisels I catty in the plastic boxes with my knives with plastic gards on them. I do travel about 12000 miles per yr, but probably slow down and stay longer now since I just paid today $4.14.9 at wallyworld for diesel!! LOL, Lynn, I'll be sure and look for your campsite!! , I just bet if you heard those dremels and fordoms running you would come running and wantta use one!! LOL, But I promise to only use the knives and gouges when I campnext to you!! hehe,,,RussL thats the same thing my wife keeps telling me!! I need professional help! lol,, thanks everyone for all the kind comments and hope you enjoyed the pictures.
