JP...
That is looking very good!

[jplock]

Today I begun to varnish the inside walls an ceiling. The tongue box doors were hung ahead of time.

JP, WOW your TD looks great!!

I really like your cabinet doors. How'd ya do em? Is that molding trim with luan on the back. Or are you a cabinet maker and made them with crazy router bits?? Silly question, I know, but Im looking for ideas for nice cabinet doors that are not hard to make with limited tools.

I like the stain your using also.

Thanks for keeping us posted and the pic's!!

The panels are the same 1/4" birch plywood used on the walls. The moldings are 3/8" x1" ceder strips routed and the 45 degree mitered. The glued to the birch plywood panels. If you want I can post some more detailed pictures. Also I give the credit to my Father In Law he made them for me. They are a relatively simple construction.

Here are a few more pictures. There are two coats of spar varnish in progress on the cabin walls and ceiling. A mounting and raceway for a aircraft reading lamps above the cabinet doors/headboard. Work has slowed a little with the Thanksgiving Holiday and Snowy weather.




Looks like ET Call HOME! or ROBOT EYES!

The ceiling fixtures are installed after varnish job on Sunday afternoon.

The bulkhead, cabin, electrical and ,tongue box are pretty much complete. More attention is being given to the galley area. Two patitions are made of 1/8th inch plywood framed with 3/4" x 3/4" pine framing. Also the electrical shelf has been sealed off. These pieces were attached with screws and no glue to make possible future changes easier should a decision be made that we want to change the galley area.

Galley construction continues.


Electrical shelf sealed off.

Hey JP!

How are you keeping the door open? (the one on the left?)
I've been following the build. Great work! Nice documentation!

[jplock]

The door on the left is held open by the spring in the hinge, but it is a little on the weak side. So I have a little stick that swings out to help hold it open. I will try to post a picture for you. Also I am glad you are enjoying the postings. I also want to thank the staff on this site for allowing me the memory space to post these pictures. It has been FUN! I am also consdering making them available to folks on CD's I have enough full resolution photos to possibly fill 2 CD's. Is this what you did with your CD?

Steve,
Here is how I did the prop rod on the electrical panel door. It swings back against 15 Amp AC Breaker label when the cover is closed.

The electrical panel is vented and mosquito proofed

More accomplished on galley cabinets Built sliding cabinet doors. Shelf was built, and more framing put in 3/4" x 3/4" studs covered with 1/8" mahogany luan plywood. The shelf bottom 1/4" BC plywood was used for a the weight of cann food goods stored on this shelf. Hopefullythis will make for nice light weight cabinets, and keep this trailer from becoming a lead sled! Also got parts finished with Minwax spar varnish. more pictures to come.

Ya'll,
Here are some more pictures of the galley area. The sliding doors are hung, and a new add on detachable table has bee built. It kind of reminds me of an ironing board. It was made out of 1x2' s and 3/4" x 3/4" framing the top was covered with 1/8th inch mahogany luan. It is strong and lightweight.


Sliding doors are hung.


Easy open sliding door fancy finger fixture.
