Mini hopper build

[JThompson]

I swear thats a guy thing. I make them double sided with all sorts of strange fabric. around here college sports teams are a hit. Game cocks on one side and Bull dogs on the other. Made a lady welder a cap with little mermaid on the outside

I’ve got one with little crawfish all over it ... (store bought)

Canvas ON!!!!!!!

And got the base layer of paint on her. Found Kilz masonry waterproofing paint in white on clearance.. it fills the canvas weave nice and drys fast, according to the can it should be cured in 12 hours and waterproof. Figure it it can stop water thru concrete or cinder block walls. It can waterproof a canvas camper. Road cone orange and hi vis green go on next.. Next weekend.. we make doors and windows

I had to see what the curved stripe on the boxie camper would look like.. and of course its the horrid High Vis Green


still teaching my kiddo to take pictures.. but in all fairness its 98 F so he stayed in the shade.

And just incase you wondered.. still using sheets to cover foam. On the inside...Foot ball sheets from a yard sale. 5 sets for $6. And the first of many maps that will cover them and be varnished on. The Chesapeake bay bridge tunnel..which I never want to tow the hopper across. It always has wind advisory's.




since getting sick june 3. I do alittle daily now. a hour here.. hour there. But by the time its finished I should be strong enough to take her camping.

That hi-vis green is a cheerful colour! And the curved stripes look good, too.

And heres the welding cap.. for my Darling man..

[GPW]

NICE Cap !!! That’s “Hot” !!!

[JThompson]

Been awhile since I made a post. took alittle while longer then I thought to recover and get my strength and wind back.. Then the 100F heat struck and there is no working outside here in mossie heaven after 5pm.. But.. We're moving again got paint on .. doors and canvas back goes on tomorrow... hoping to have her mostly campable to take out labor day weekend for a few days..

So.. to prove my lack of sanity...

Did you try ironing the bubbles down ???
