Well, I guess I should introduce myself. I'm David Clay, a semi-retired Psych nurse. I've been married for 41 years to the most wonderful woman who has tolerated all of my many varied hobbies and passions.
My current passion is building and restoring camping trailers. I've built several teardrop campers from scratch, and am currently in the middle of renovating a 1971 Airstream Sovereign.
Also, I have built an airplane (a Sonex) in my garage from just a set of plans. It flies like a dream. During that build, I designed a sheet metal bending brake that has become known as "Dave's Cheap Sheet Metal Bending Brake". It was featured in Sport Aviation magazine and has been built by folks literally all around the planet.
I joined this forum because I am about to buy my first vintage "canned ham" trailer as a restoration project. After browsing this group, I am very impressed with the knowledge and camaraderie found here. Even though I possess a few building skills, there is a lot for me to learn about vintage trailers. I'll probably be asking a lot of questions as I set out on the journey to restore a 1964 Mobile Scout 13' (hopefully).
Here's a link to some photos of some of my previous projects.
