GuyllFyre Alpha 2 - 5' Wide

[capnTelescope]

That blue tarp is going to raise the bar for lightweight construction!

Time's a wasting. Gotta make that deadline, so get back to work.

Thanks for the comments guys!
My builds will never be as nice as some but I have the fun of seeing how quickly some designs can be built with regular power tools and how to use the same frames and sides and construction but just adding a little more width.
Would be fun to be playing with a CNC but I'm wasting time as it is.
I ran a ton of errands this morning, it's cold and raining and I'm having some difficulty motivating myself to get bundled up, get the car done and out of the way, and get the camper done.

[GuyllFyre]

Made a valiant effort...and did it!
Nearly worked myself to death but came back to work the next week more refreshed than I'd been in a while. Nothing like serious hard work and serious hard drinking with a great bunch of people to melt away the woes of the world.
Camper still needs lots of work but it's clean and sealed and no rain comes in with the vents open, the wind isn't much of an issue...
I need to put it on a different trailer and lower the base a lot. The high profile made more wind resistance. Tucking it behind the car more will reduce drag.
So...it's not the info, it's the PICTURES we come for.

This year has flashed past so quickly that it's scary.
Lots of garage, house, and yard cleanup. Tow vehicle has been on jack stands in the garage since April.
Parts car has been stripped to the bone, lots of parts saved, lots of money in scrap to be made.
Much cleanup has been done, allowing me to pull the teardrop toward the front of the line and start separating it from it's base.

Glad to see you're back in the game!

Thatnks for the welcome back!
Work has been crazy and I've had too many projects going at once as well as starting on garage foundation repairs.
After struggling with the recip saw, I said to hell with it and marked it all out and sacrificed a carbide circular saw blade.
Went all the way around, through nails, wood, and PL Premium.
Getting ready to pull it off the trailer. I need the trailer back to haul scrap.
I thought I had a 5' wide trailer secured from a friend but it was left at his MIL's place and she gave it to a scrapper.
Oh well. Will come up with something else.

I was up too late last night, had a Gorilla Glue accident which has left my hands coated and even though I thought I had it washed off, has left various amounts of poly glue on various parts of my body.
When wet, just wash off with soap and water. I call BS.
So, I'm moving a bit slowly as I didn't wake up until almost noon and have various annoyances and discomfort. I feel like an idiot but oh well.
I rolled the teardrop off the trailer and onto a rolling base.
I took all of the bolts out of the base that is bolted to the trailer and am getting ready to pull that off as well.

[GuyllFyre]

Pulled the base off and then started trimming off the "wings that made it 5' wide.
It will be a 4'x8' platform, most likely will be used as part of my forms to fix my garage foundation.
Had to stop where I was as I promised a friend I'd look at repairing her bumper cover.

Ended up turning the teardrop base into a workbench instead of sacrificing it to concrete form duty.
Put the trailer back into wagon mode.
Will be building a floor inside the teardrop and seal it in preparation for a trailer.
