Teardrop trailer construction 17

We didn't work on the trailer much today because of other committments but we did get the hinge and straps on the front trunk
This completes the outside of the box and really everything that goes on the outside of the trailer. We have a few things underneath the trailer that need to be completed.

This is a close up of the buckles we made from belts. I've looked at this trunk a number of times while putting it together, but looking at the picture I realized I left out a screw.

Goodwin Mill and Cabinets

We built this game table to show in "The What Women Want" convention. It was a real hit. A guy in Vegas wants one only larger. It looks like the person who gets this one lives in St. George. It is made of mahogany with maple squares in the surface.
A close up of the table and Chess pieces. We turned the chess pieces on our lathe.

You might remember the table we had like this in our show room. We sold it and have now built us a new table. We sell it in the colors we show on the chairs in addition to a dark green and a mahogany color like the seats. W e had a lady in the other day that liked the table but she wanted the stools to be all different in color.

We have this kitchen island for sale. We built it for the convention also but didn't sell it. It comes in all the table colors as well. We have a guy in Los Vegas that wants a larger one. Grampa is trying to figure out how to remodel his house so he can have it.

Teardrop trailer construction 16

WE DID IT? We covered the top with Durabak truck liner. It was messy and we didn't do the most professional job but it looks pretty nice. We also dicovered it is pretty forgiving. We were able to cut off some bad spots and touch it up. Over all we are pretty happy with the results. We are going to hinge the front trunk next and weather strip it and put buckles to keep it closed. This will allow us to mount the battery permantly and hook it up.
Side view gives you a pretty good idea of how the trailer looks. Sorry about the mess at the shop. We had a storm that blew sawdust out of the bins and then rained on it.

Rear view shows the rear trunk all completed. We let the durabak dry over the weekend and then weather stripped the inside. We have a short list of things to complete but are close enough to get it licensed.
We pulled it the other day and it tracks very nicely. We are getting excited to go on a trip. Our timing is off though. Winter camping is not our best thing.
