The calm before the storm perhaps.
Gantries are finished. Steel ordered. Waiting for its arrival and then it's time to start welding. Did I mention I've never welded before? Well, once upon a time I had never delivered a breech lamb and I did that successfully. How difficult can this be?
Perhaps my comparison is erroneous.
I've been grinding away rust on the Airstream frame. Today, I took the angle grinder and cut out rusted parts of the frame. Smart-neighbor-Pat says with the new steel welded in, the frame will be as strong as new. I ordered the Por15 rust regimen so any rust that is left on the frame will be DESTROYED by this stuff.
Axles are ordered from Inland RV in California. Should be here within the month.
I believe the saying is, "no turning back."
Whenever I feel overwhelmed, Smart-neighbor-Pat walks over to shoot the breeze, looks at what I'm doing and says, "No problem. This can be done." I knew a pigeon farmer who said the same thing, except his was, "No question," (probably a literal translation from one of the four languages he knows).
So with the down time on the trailer, I am finally finishing my dresser. I applied the first two coats of Watco Danish Oil (light walnut) and the wood looks fantastic. This will be a beautiful piece that will probably last a hundred years.
