The item in my kit

I bought Jewel City Black T50 Staples as part of my camper van equipment.

My lining and fastening purchases include staples alongside screws and adhesives. The drawer diary shows the practical sequence of fitting a lining, while these black staples are part of the broader purchased fastening kit.

Where it fits my build

I built the storage-bin drawer frame on the patio from a measured layout. I joined the timber, added inside corner brackets and fitted the base before moving on to the lining.

I cut the rubber mat with scissors, cleaned the wood and used spray adhesive in sections with a roller. Screws and washers attached the mat, and the slides joined the drawer to its surrounding cabinet frame.

My build notes

The drawer went through several distinct stages before it could slide in the cabinet. The photographs show the exposed frame first and the lined drawer later, making the changes in access and fastening positions visible.

Measuring, framing, lining and slide installation were separate stages of the drawer assembly.
