Hi all, I have started my TD. Here is the trailer chassis I will be mounting it on. Needs a bit of work doing to it.
The 'A' frame will be made stronger
Headboard will be removed and total length shortened by about 9 inches from the back.
I have started to shape the sides
First side cut
Marking out the second side
Other side now cut
I did buy a new B & D pendulum Jigsaw with quick release blade clamp. They are crap as the blade is not clamped in strong enough and kept coming out after a 2mm cut. I reverted back to my old one.
I have to buy a belt sander now to square up the edges. I will clamp the sides together and sand them down so they are equal, flat and smooth with a 90 degree angle.
I have marked out a door on one side and will cut this out later. Dont know whether to have a door on both sides. Having another door means everything doubles, ie. 2 sets of hinges, door knobs, locks, weather trim, and double the option for leaks from rain . At the mo, just one door and the one nearest the door gets climbed on by other person escaping.
Lovely day today as well, but cant carry on with the build until I get a belt sander.
