Sam,

Your teardrop is really coming together. That is a clever way to add a bumper and have the receivers to use while camping. Very nice!

Take care,
Tom

Well, with the holidays, flu, etc, I haven't spent a lot of time on the Horny Towd, but here's what I've accomplished.

Covered the doors with canvas



Needed a doubler where the latch mounts



I do like how easy it is to get the canvas to conform to the wood frame.



Doors are painted. With the cold temps, I brought them inside for the paint to fully cure.



Added the cleats to support the shelves.



Using a spare hatch rib to check clearance to the cabinets.



Stained and varnished the cabinet parts before installing them. Lots more to do, trim, upper shelf, cabinet doors, etc.



That's about it for now. I did a lot of painting, etc that doesn't really show up.

...Love your removable bumper idea! That's good thinking!

PS. It's kind of funny: a moose sleeping in a Tow'd

The Horny Towd has doors!


inside shot



door open, with the underbed storage visible. Will be a good place for muddy shoes.



Closed door, and exterior light installed.



I have started the tongue box. First step is to match the curve of the body. Propped the tongue box side in place at the proper angle, and used a stick to transfer the curve locations.



After trimming, I'm OK with the fit.



Getting closer!

I'm extremely envious of that tongue box! I'm not sure I could build that, but I definitely want to try! Great work!

[desertmoose]

lousy photos, but we did get the stripes on the tear.

Sealed the edges with tan before painting the stripes, but there was some seepage under the tape when we painted the black and green. Will take just a bit of touchup.





Getting closer!

Nice work on the stripes! I just got done taping/painting mine, and I know getting things just right is a real PITA!

nice job on your trailer I really like the tongue box very creative

[mckenney56]

I see boats hanging in those rafters. Iooks like some kind of kayaks. I prefer canoes myself.

Nice paint job by the way.
