Here it is, waiting to be put on the plywood for a pattern.

Now, here as you can see, he has pieced together some cardboard in the shape of the wall

Here is a better view of the jig ready for Ron to work with it

What's nice about a jig, is that you can position it right next to where you want to put a wall. You have pieces of cardboard and a scribe to match the curves and how you're going to cut out your cardboard. I'm sure Ron can explain it a lot better than I can, but, in the following pictures, you will get the idea of what I'm trying to tell you. :)

This is a jig that Ron put together to help build the walls

The start of the new bedroom cabinets

June 30, 2007

Hi all, I noticed the last time I updated this was around the 23rd of May. At that time, I had put up some pictures of the finished work from Fontana and even included some pictures of the bus up here at our compound. Our bus friends, Dan & Marge visited with us and Dan helped Ron put the drain in the shower. He also started helping Ron build some cabinets back by the bed. Like I said, he's just started them and so far they are just shells of what they are going to look like. Here's a couple of pictures to let you see what they look like so far. The bottom part is probably going to be one or two drawers and then the top area on each side of the bed and the overhead will be cabinets.
