the jelly belly build

[del]

Doug I hope people do not think I am a friend of satin, because I can not tell the difference between mayo and miracle whip.

progress;
I am working on my inside (cabin) cabinets and came to a realization that they would interfere with the two rear windows. I am thinking omit the windows and keep the storage.

ps going outside now with camera.

Del...you have a fun build to watch!!...lots of different things going on...makes me think and draw on paper...Doug

Miracle Whip....AKA "Satans Sandwich Spread"

I agree with the fun build to watch! But spread of Satan............

[del]

I grew up in family that put butter on sandwiches. Only when I grew older did I discover mayo and miracle whip, maybe thats why I can not tell the difference now.

Build progress, installed a shelf and half of the upper raceway.

I see that this is the self most people put the tv on. Sometime in the future a tv may find its way on this shelf, but not if I do not leave enough room, so how big are tvs that are common to teardrops?

del

[Miriam C.]

My current TV is 13 inche but they make some light weight, flat screen 17 inch that will fit in the space I made. You can also hang them from the ceiling. Just so you can plan ahead.

[del]

Put two braces on my shelf, 19" apart. I have about 22" of height there for a tv someday. Hopefully that is big enough.

Am I the only one who would like to see these drawings?

...makes me think and draw on paper...Doug

I just know he will not show them, have to find myself a former kgb agent to find out (just kidding).

[Miriam C.]

Del, someday a bunch of people will be searching for your and Doug's drawings. You both do extraordinary work.

Whats going on with the weather? Sunday it was hot, 103f (40c) on my thermometer, today it did not even make 70f (20c), what the hell. Good thing I did not put away my jacket.

Progress, installed the bulkhead, tomorrow I will trim it.

The rest of the week is supposed to warm back up to closer to normal temps, so may be I can get some work done , well I will keep my fingers crossed.

I really am enjoying watching your build. Great looking. Peg

[del]

Thanks Peg and anyone else cheering me on.

Today I trimmed the wall I put up yesterday.

Tomorrow ,unless something else presents itself it is time for walls.

Good job on your progress. Keep posting your pictures - I am enjoying watching your jelly belly build.

All I can say, yours is an amazing build. Part of the time it is hard to totally follow what you are doing & it makes the basic little TD look simple in comparison.
As it takes more shape, I think I'll understand better. Nice to know we have some real pros on board.
Martha

Martha and littleCritter; thanks. As far as being a pro, I do not know, Dougs (and too many others to mention) skills look far better than mine.

Progress; Remember when I said unless something comes up, I am ready for the second half of the wall. Well the galley hinge needed something to attach to other than the end of ply.

Sorry about the angle. While the glue dried I cut out the wall.

Thanks to Andrew that went well. But by the time one wall was on it was after nine and sun down, so my picture did not turn out.

Del,
If you're not a pro now, by the time you are done you will be more than most of us.
Amazing what can be done with wood.
Martha

[del]

Martha I will be something when this is done, tired is more like what I will be.

Yesterday I put on the back half of the left wall, but light failed by the time I finished so today I took pictures.

Today I put on a whole board, yep 12" long, and replanted two small (dwarf) trees.

[Miriam C.]

Del I am trying to decide if that is scarsism or humor. I am amazed at what you have done. Have to admit I would never attempt that.
