Anyone interested in 83 Pace Arrow Tear down and Rebuild?

Hope your weekend is going well. Everybody out spending money on things we don't need..... Ah, yea, no.

Anyhow, anyone remember this?







Yea, that's the pattern I used for the the sides of the sink. I took that apart so I could use the wood.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Well, I decided to change my plans just a bit, in the bathroom. After considering my options, I went back to an earlier design where the toilet is at the rear, and the shower area will be next to the kitchen area.

Biggest reason is the height of the ceiling. It is higher towards the front than it is at the back, since the roof is tapered towards the rear a few inches.

That allows me to raise the shower floor a little more towards the front.

I am sure there will be a couple more in the future, hopefully useful for someone.

Thanks.

Just looking at options for the future. I figured wood and glue kind of go together, since I have used a bunch of both so far in this project.

I wish I was much farther along than I am. No sense quitting now.

If you are thinking of using it for the sink, "do not!" In the long run you will have a real mess, stick to tne epoxy and the fiberglass, that sink will be ausome and a work of aft.

Definitely not using that on the sink. I already have what I think will be enough Epoxy for that job. I do need to add a curve at the bottom of the sides of the sink, to make cleaning easier before adding the Epoxy.

After that dried, I added a second coat over the first one, and then coated most of the rest of the cedar.

In this pic, the area in between the arrows has 2 coats, and the rest has only one.

Like I said, I was surprised how much the grain came through.

Why was I looking at this? A gallon of glue is less than $30.







Not sure I will end up using this, but it might be an option.
