Still makin' sawdust in Gig Harbor WA

Postby Mitch M » Sat Apr 26, 2008 5:50 pm

O.K. I finally got some pictures posted. This is what I got... I found a slightly than larger 5x8 Wells Cargo trailer (rated 3500#) that was stolen from, and recovered to a tool distributor. The sheet metal was all cut off. I purchased this for $300.00. I guess it was stolen twice! Decided to go with a BenRoy profile. My Lady friend and I are both 6 footers. So far the build is going o.k. I've only encountered a couple of minor screw-ups. But with a little contemplation they turned out to be pluses. Each step kind of falls into place. I find myself concerned about the next step and by the time I get there I usually get it figured out. The information on this fourm has,and will continue to be invalueable...Thank you all and I hope that I may be able to contribute something to another newbie thru my process. Check my album for photos

Slow progress but overall I think I'm heading in the right direction. This thing kind of takes its own direction and always "morphs" into something different. I find myself after a long day just sitting and stareing at it trying to decide which way to go next :thinking:

Can you post larger photos in your album? I think 640x480 would be perfect! ;)

Mike...
The quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten, so build your teardrop with the best materials...

You bet Mike. Sorry about that.had to downsize to post . Still experimenting I guess. Thanks for the tip. By the way I never would have attempted this build without the plans you've posted. An invalveable recource. Thanks again.......Mitch

Hi Mitch,


Welcome to the forum. Looks like you're off to a great start and I really like the cabinets and counter top. Keep at it and before you know it, you'll be camping.


See you around. :thumbsup:
