Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

Well, I suffered through it and completed the trim around one fender.



Don't mind the pencil marks, I have to do some sanding. I will need to fill some little gaps too...

One side of the the trim is done!!! One more to go.

Very nice Mary K. A little dance for all your hard work...

MK,

Really great job! Only one more to go!!

Mary K,
Great job. I'm doing a happy dance for you, but since it is one sided, I'm going around in circle getting dizzy. Hurry and get the other side done before I get sick .

Seriously, great looking trim. You are really doing a great job for someone that says they have no woodworking experience. You should be proud of that job.

I give it the official Norm Abram Award of Excellence.

Looooooooking Goooood!!!! Lets Dance!!!!!!!!

i like, i like, i like. but whats up with the pencil marks?
looks real nice Mary.

Wow, Mary K, you are stealing my stuff. Wooden fenders with curved wooden molding.......what a concept. I would like to know how you fastened the fenders to the tear and also, what are you going to waterproof the underside with?

I was told that my 1/8" fenders wouldn't hold up, someone might sit on it. In answer to that, I hop up on the rear part of the fender and jump up and down on it, explaining that I think it passes the "Jump Test". (Little do they know that there is a welded steel license plate bracket below the fender, in that very spot where I perform my antics.)

I probably have 50 glue blocks under each fender, securing the inner and outer verticals. It is shot with Line-X truck bed liner to waterproof it. Don't pay any attention to the pencil mark comments, my work usually looks like a doodle scratchpad before I am finished.

Roly, wanting to go camping, but too busy playing Mister Mom.

Great job!!!

Loookking Gooood!

Thanks Everybody! I sure do love the moral support I find here. I hope my posts and build pics inspire others.

Dooner, I'm shooting for this weekend to get the other side complete. It should be easier considering I have a template now.
Edit... Crap , I have to work this weekend so you are going to be spinning in circle for awhile...

BTW, Who's Norm Abram? Sounds familiar...

Roly, You bet I'm stealing your stuff It's good stuff!!!:thumbsup: Thanks!!



As you can see I made some beefy fenders. 3/4" ply and skinned with luan and then 1/8" Birch.

I fastened with 3 bolts and big washers.

I used this stuff to seal between the side wall and fender.




I did a test piece of the PL sealant and I can NOT get the 2 pieces of wood apart. So That fender is not going anywhere.

Here is an odd angle looking at the underside of the fender.


I coated the fender using the really THICK roofing goop (technical term) I bought by mistake when I did the floor.

Steve & DG..Yall are just going to have to deal with the pencil marks
