Starting the trailer vee-nose shelves

posted in: In The Dalles | 1

This has been the first long-distance travel with the Gosling, the enclosed trailer in which I brought my motorcycle to Oregon. I had things in boxes, bins and loose, restrained by bungee cords, ratchet straps and nylon. Of course, we’re adding to the things that will return home with us, and I need better organization in the Gosling to fit it all in.

I’ve decided to create shelving in the vee-nose of the trailer. Compartments for the golf clubs, smoker grill, and all sorts of stuff. Two-by-four structure with plywood shelves. Of course, all my tools are at home, so I’m selectively buying ones I don’t own with which I can build the shelves.

Today, I cut the first of the 2×4 to length and created a rabbet to fit over the baseboard. Lots of hand work with a saw. I’ll be re-building muscles I lost a long time ago. Good thing I can take my time! I have six weeks …

    Wow! I must’ve been away from this site longer than I thought. There are posts that have been out here so long I can’t even leave comments. (BTW… I’m very disappointed you didn’t partake of the bungee jumping out at the canyon. Now THAT would have been a good picture!) As for your vee-nose shelving, are those pictures before or after? ‘Cuz I’m not seeing that 2×4.
