Plywood Framing

[Arne]

Mike, I'd thought about the 3/4 ply not being an actual 3/4, and thought about shimming it with a piece of 1/8"... that would make it a bit over 3/4, so 3/4 insul migh not completely fill the void, but with enough adhesive piled on the inusl, it could work...

re the weight. a 3/4 ply weighs 75 pounds.. figuring 2/3rds would be scrapped, the wall would weigh 25# which is pretty acceptable...

2 things... first, I would consider ceps on the exposed ply edges, if not all of the frame to stabilize it... second, door frame of 3/4 pine for latches and hinge mounting....

I'm guessing nothing has to be over 2" wide, so a lot of material would be removed and a nice curve could be attained.... the roof would probably be nail free, glued down with strapping to hold it in place... do not know what type of glue to use if the frame has been cpes'ed... maybe epoxy would be the adhesive of choice. If it had been cpes'd for more than a couple of days, it would have to be roughed to for the new epoxy to get a bite...

I'm hoping Mike finishes that Widget. That would be a great looking camper!

I've been eyeballing it again...

I've got 3 trailers on my plate right now, and need to focus on just 1.

Does this msg belong in the 1 thread?

Jim,

I'll "fawn" over yours...whatever "fawn means, I don't know, but anyway, I really like the profile of your trailer, and the roofing material also.

Now, when are you gonna put fenders on it?

Man, you guys have a fender fetish or something..

Finn, I'll have windows eventually, just have a problem right now with money running tight.
as for fenders..someday.
