Very very impressive! Immaculate workmanship! Thank you for the many pics. You have given me ideas and much needed motivation. And yes, where do you find all the time? Great work!
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Doing the interior of the box was nice since I could work on it at night with lights after my family was asleep But unfortunately some of the other "daylight time" gets stolen from more important things on occasion, so after the thread gets updated then I'm done for the year on big projects with this thing. We do have many more family camping trips planned this summer so unless something major breaks, then I won't be putting too much time into working on it anymore.Very very impressive!

but I think the big projects are finally a thing of the past.
Peashooter - hate to tell you this but you just jinxed yourself - you are now destined for larger and more elaborate projects.
Just went through and read your whole thread and checked out the great array of pictures of your craftmenship - absolutely great job building it. 109 box projects around here show the likes and dislikes of everyone - but they are all good. It just shows what each of us are willing to tolerate for a "living quarters" when we go camping.
Thanks for the thread of your build.
I wouldn't consider it an odd question because I searched for months for it. As soon as one would pop up on craigslist, it would sell in an hour or 2, and I wasnt fast enough. Its an Ikea couch I got off of craigslist, its called a "Fagelbo" which is an older version of the "MANSTAD". The Fagelbo fits perfectly (and tightly). The manstad is a few inches wider and would need to have the arm rests trimmed in order to fit. Someone else asked me about the couch yesterday as well, they apparently dont make the Manstad now either, its been replaced by the "FRIHETEN". Even used these silly things go for quite a bit. I bought a used manstad from craigslist but didnt really like the color and then the older "fagelbo" popped up on craigslist so I bought that too. I even made enough of a profit on the first sofa to pay for the second!Awesome build. I will be stealing many ideas for mine.
odd question for you: Where did you get the couch? (it would be about perfect for my build)
