Is the theme Steam Punk or simply steamer trunk? It looks marvelous, simply marvelous! :thumbsup:

Good call, KC!

Right side galley exterior trim, first cuts and staining (to show detail). Needs a little more work then I'll put some more epoxy over the top, mount it to the 3/4" plywood folding shelf, paint the edge trim, yada, yada. Still need to find some door handles and hardware.

I finally got the galley lids mounted. It's been hard to get any work done with the heat wave here in the southwest. We just broke a 9 day straight run of over 100 degrees. 16 days out of June were over 100, so it goes.

The ropes are temp and will be replaced with cable or brackets, no sure which way I'll go just yet.

I also love it!!! Very pretty, creative, distinctive and functional. Building your own trailer is so cool. No two are exactly alike and that makes them such a joy to look at.

I too really like this build Wolf, it's a real standout. I also find this pic quite interesting, as I live in the area where this particular railroad existed once upon a time. I've even ridden on the now resurrected V & T line :thumbsup:
