Oh yes, not sure whether bungee or lip on the shelf. I think the upper part of the cabinet to the right of the door may be a ‘normal’ height bookshelf too.
Thanks, that desk is a special item. I like it a lot.
I took advantage of a good sunny day to get the door casing glued in place. It was 80 degrees in the trailer when I finished and still 75 a couple of hours later. Glue is good to go. It is 40 something outside, with about 6” of snow on the ground. Figured I needed to get this bit done.
And a...
Thank you so much! I’m really enjoying it. I got a little done today, the door casing now is full depth and will hold a bookshelf over the door when complete. I hope to work on attaching it tomorrow. It is quite cold here at night so I must figure out how to keep the glue and adhesive warm until...
The door works now. I’m working on the inserts for the window spaces (fiberglass) that remain from cutting the door opening.
I have a heater connected inside the trailer now, but need to do some work outside and it is just too cold and snowing. I’ll get there...
Work continues. A lot of work. Here it is rolling as a test.
It has since been covered with a shelter so I can work on it this winter. I hope to finish the entry door frame tomorrow. A 1920 REO door is curved in all directions and a bear to mount, but I am winning.
The door window will...
This looks very interesting. I have a couple of questions...
Are you planning on using this as a blind to shoot from? If so, is that legal where you are?
Also, consider the sound... I once (ONLY once) shot a rifle out the back of a van. We had parked, set up targets and the weather was bad...
I agree with the lighter colors. I live in the high desert and know how hot dark colored things get. A black/steel pliers or hammer will get too hot to pick up while a chrome one won’t. Anyway, lighter colors for me anyway. I prefer dirt colored rigs... the dust here is tan colored. I hope to...
I have been working on this. The floor is complete and installed and the front wall is built. 2 more walls to build and I can install the topper.
I removed the fenders... they weighed 8.6 pounds each! I’ll make something lighter to replace them.
I also bought a Kreg pocket hole jig to...
I have managed to collect some parts from a trailer being salvaged: lights, cargo doors, a window and the protective awning for the front window. I also got the old plywood stripped off the trailer and found a tongue box. The box is aluminum.
Those wide bars that supported the sailboat...
I hope to build a tiny trailer. Don’t laugh please, this is a low budget project and I’m old and SLOW.
So far, I found a boat trailer for 50 bucks (and it came with a workable Hobie Cat 16!) and my neighbor just gave me a fiberglass topper. I want this thing to be light enough to pull behind my...
