Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

The past month has been slow, haven't really done much. I got the counter top installed and the back cabinet frame done. I plan on just making bins and putting some nice wire screen up about a quarter of the way up to hold stuff in place. Also starting the frame work for below the counter. I plan on moving the piece of wood that's in the middle over closer to the ice chest, the new water container is just too close to the new battery box. I plan on making an enclosure just for the battery area.





Here is a shot from behind the galley showing the pocket hole construction, man I love those things!



Side view of the galley.



And here's a shot of the fan cut out in the inner skin.



More to come!

Nice woodwork, I like to use pocket holes as well for my cabinet work. Haven't seen much on the forum yet, but I think it is the easiest way to build cabinet frames. Are you using the KREG jig?

Yep, it's the Kreg jig. It's so easy with this gadget.

SkipperSue... Lookin Good! I like your T & G boards in the cabin.

I'm a big fan of the Kreg Jig too.

Skip, WOW!! Nice Job!!

YES!!! The Kreg Pocket screw Jig ROCKS!!! I love mine. I'm using it to mount, install, whatever, all my cabinets.\

Whats the gray stuff between the spar and the upper galley? Obviously it's caulk, but I have some gaps to fill on my build, and I was wondering what to use.


Brick, I thought he did T&G too, but its paneling. Looks good huh??

Man, that's gonna be beautiful!!!

What do you have planned for the sides?

Lookin great there Skip. It's the little details that slow ya down.

That was the first thing I noticed too, but I didn't want to hurt his feelings.

Now why would that hurt my feelings?
That's an old 1992 Barbie Twins calender. I just can't bring myself to throw it away.

Mary K, it's some 50 year flashing caulk that I had around. I'm trying to keep some form of insulation between the cabin and the galley, worked good to seal up the little cracks.

I really haven't decided on what to do yet other than not the woody look, it has some nasty gouges in it. Paint most likely but aluminum would be nice if I can find any around here.

Very nice work! Keep those pics a coming!

Looks great sue. I like those boards on the ceiling. I used dowell pins for my face frames just cause that is what I am familiar with. The guys at the woodworking store all swear by pocket screws.

How can you go paint with that great planking inside?
