Number 5, Rondack Lodge, Complete!!

[Steve Frederick]

How's that jack doing? Hope it is fixed. Couple more days to ADK and see further progress.

Beat it back in shape, Then welded a plate under it so that it passes through the plate, as a re-inforcement!
Very solid! Good-to-go!!

[Steve Frederick]

Nice Table top! How'd you do that? Did you glue the top piece to another board? Is that how its done? How do you cut them out so perfectly???

Your HUMONGOUS TD looks Awesome Steve! You should be proud!!

Thanks Kiddo!!
I cut the parts from 1/4" ply, using a pattern and router, then glued them to a piece of 1/2" ply. The dark strip in the front is some left-over mahagony trim from the cabinets. It's edge-glued to the ply.

Since I am a first time builder using the "scraps" of an old 13' travel trailer, I feel in awe of what you can do with a bit of plywood. I am just wishing for a dry trailer with working lights....you don't set your goals too high for a first one.

Hi,

I've been following the Rondack closely for many months. It's my dream tear, that's for sure. Scraping pennies together to hopefully place an order!

Did anyone get pics from the n.y. event?

[Steve Frederick]

I just got the journal caught up to where I was before the Tear-uP!
I'll get some more shots of the current progress this week. I just came in from a tense couple of hours, setting up the hatch gas springs!
I should get the galley wrapped up before a week off at the Cape!

What she said. So what is next? It is always a pleasure to watch one of your builds Steve.

Stunning! That looks to be a good size! Not to big, not to small. When you get tired of it, can it be delivered to Long Beach, CA. Oops, wait, sorry, I was drooling all over my keyboard.

Thanks everyone!
Next I'll be installing the galley cabinet doors/drawers, and the flooring inside.
I still have the fenders to finish, maybe, before the trip to Mystic for the Tearjerkers meet.
I have a week off for a trip to Cape Cod in between..A welcome break from building! I'll do a lot of fishing, sleeping, try out my new Camera, eat seafood, sleep, fish, sleep, fish, sleep.....

Hey, did you just add that? I checked your site and didn't see any of the "Lodge" which is why I asked.
