Thanks ! I'll try that out the next time I need to do some 2d cad :thumbup:

I used LibreCAD recently and found it to be a decent substitute for the Autocad 2d that I used to use years ago

A lathe or mill is on that trailer is also very questionable.

The next time you are driving around and pass by a place that sells new trailers stop in and take a look at a dual axle car hauler. Note the dimensions of the steel framing and the layout. My guess is it's quite a bit heavier than what you're working with on that camper. Camper was not designed...

Really great work! Just curious if anyone knows, what would happen if you drove up to the inspection station in something like this in the US? What happens when you try to register it for on road use? I assume it's going to be a Miata, but maybe it's an old Ford depending on where the VIN plate...

I envy the people who are just finding this series - the wait between episodes is almost too much to take.

i have washed a pipe under a slab before - always worried about the slab not being supported afterwards - 20 feet isn't that far to wash a hole followed by tunneling by hand then backfilling and compacting - work from both ends - should be able to do it in a day

Often times you can find used tube garages on craigslist cheap and all they need is new tubes and cover.

Don Campbell's mini jeep project has got me thinking that I would like to start a full size project, maybe jeep. What is it with jeeps? Are they simple machines that can be rebuilt or are they nightmares?

YOU are the master builder - I would say it looks good with or without the scoop but I agree it looks better without to my unskilled eye

If you're happy with the results you're getting with flux core, I wouldn't be too concerned with what others are saying about it.

Don, How do you go about designing your projects? Do you build as you go or plan things in advance? How do you deal with scaling? Do you work with photos and drawings or just wing it?

That's too bad Don, sorry that happened to you. This is a safe place.

Don, Your Youtube channel and blog no longer exist. Is there some place I could go to get a better look and more pictures of your projects? Thanks.

my carnage from a v8 head still on truck - some studs took a few tries but they all came out by building up the stud with mig welding and adding a nut on the end to turn it.
