Started the bed today but I doubt I'll finish it coz I used one of the ply sheets for my genny box thinking I would pop round to the wood yard and pick one up any old time
Materials are thin on the ground now so I pleasured myself by making a dust pan. It weighs about three pounds but hey, when youve got a welder .
This evening I am cutting out bits of paper and attempting to create the angles and things for the pull out step.

Managed a bit of boxhing this afternoon between other pressing (paying) jobs.
Two large vintage van jacks have also made an appearance so between finishing the bed and painting its underside I will mostly be inventing some ridiculously complicated retractable supports from their acme screw and miter gears. Why? Coz I’m awesome
Take no notice of the bracing. I have to stand this lot up against the wall to paint it so it’s just there to stop the joints from cracking while I man handle it.

Finally managed to get a tin of undercoat so flipped up the bed and glugged grey stuff all over it. Three coats should do the job then it’s onto a quest for half a gallon of Isoflex to finish it off.

Trying to find a local tin basher that’s open and bashing is also proving inconvenient.
I want to reproduce the five inch sill that bejewels Henry’s hem line so I need four lengths of aluminium bent.
It has been holding the job up to be honest as I can’t fix the floor down until I have fitted the sills.
I need four eight foot pieces bent at 1” x 5” x 2” so it’s not something I can do myself.

Yes at the moment people have spare time, but everywhere is closed. I am after some sheet folding over 1 m, also holding me up. Let your fingers do the walking,! Good luck.

Last coat of Isoflex this morning. That’s three coats of undercoat and three coats of Isoflex. I dare so much as vapour gets through to that plywood never mind water.
although I have lots of time at the moment I have been inundated with jobs to do for locals. I have fitted a pile of locks to neighbouring lockups and fitted a local garden with decking and a bar. My jobs have been suffering as a result. Almost time to permanently fit the bed on the chassis and create the sill, if I can get hold of one.

While continuously phoning round to get some ally sheet bent with no luck I finished work last night and had a right good moan about it to one of the engineers. Ang on he said, fetched out the body work supervisor who exclaimed, well we have a ten foot bender in the workshop
I’m taking a sheet into work and they will cut and bend it for me, no problem.
God luv em.
