Slow Progress

After completing the framing, we had a few days of frustration as we tried to bend plywood to cover the 7-inch radius curves on the front and nose of the trailer.  After two spectacular failures, which used up all the material I had on hand, I went to Edensaw Wood in Port Townsend and bought some bendy plywood. After making some clamping jigs to allow easier clamping across the front of the trailer, we got the skin on yesterday.

Skin on the front

Earlier in the weekend, I mocked up the galley hatch hinge.

Needs some patching in the outer skin

Also did some wiring in the ceiling earlier.

Lots of wires
