Rimplewoodskin Begins

Postby Bigblock352 » Wed Mar 06, 2013 9:02 am

My NT 5x8 came in last night. The assemble time says 3 hours. So this weekends goal is to assemble the trailer and at least frame out the floor! IT BEGINS! :D

Well this has been a long break!
I'm finally back at it though. Floor bolted down walls coming up. 3 Day weekend coming up so I hopefully will have the roof spars and crossways bunk for the kid setup.

Doing the roof soon. A little apprehensive about it though. I am thinking of using 1/4 birch to I can get it to bend around my radius. screw and glue then put a paice of wood over the counter sunk screws to hide them.... So many options I just need to pick one and do it!

Yep She's shiny. I was going to do 1 more coat but didn't really need to.
Going to run trim around the bottom and do that in a almond kind of stain. Should look nice.
Hope to have it done in a few weeks, but... We will see.
