We only got a foot of snow here. Not enough to really notice. The roads were clear by the end of the day.

Hey Mike
What does a 55 lb bale of Hay bring in Wyoming these days??

Tounge Box Pictures??

Sounds like 90% of our B.C. TJ members are ready and willing to go this season!
May have to have a couple of regional meets or maybe we could pull something off in the middle.

PS
We have lots of camping space here at the farm....just the time is the stumbling block!

Brian

Sure I do!

We got the tongue box finished, but don't have a picture yet with the finished lid.



Interior is stained/painted



And the galley is getting there...





Steve, congrats on beating the wretched "C"!! My mom was just cleared at the end of January!!

Zach your teardrop looks great. You are in the home stretch now. Is there any significance to the scoop cut out in your galley counter top? First time I have seen that.

Hey Slow, hows about you have a building party. Friends come to your place, camp out on the farm and assist you in your build, might only cost some beef

[Mary C]

I ordered my canvas!!!!

Thanks! The teardrop actually belongs to my friend and his wife. I drew up the plans on the computer(with a lot of input from them) and am helping build it.
The curved cutout in the counter allows his short wife to lean in further and reach the back of the galley shelf. No lie!!



Hey Steve, that looks good! I like the curved lid!

[Woodbutcher]

A short wife? Well that makes sense. Those are the kind of details that really make these little trailers unique. Everyone adds in those things that make the trailer fit them, in this case literally.

some measuring and cuting
and some day it will be spare tire holder/cover

[Ron Dickey]

Spent friday and sat. putting together a supper duty Harbor Freight trailer. I do not want to work on an nut in bolt for a while. All by hand no drills, just rachets, wrenches and lots and lots of muscle.

Now it is together except for the bearings and the wheels and tires. Only one thing it is upside down now and I have to get some neighbors to help me flip it. without heating the spindle.

Ron...run the nut partially on to protect the threads and put down a wadded up blanket to cushion it...then flip it....Doug
