Some killer newer entries in here.
I'm thinking of starting a kids' bunk bed project. Any pics, advice welcome.

Not really a bunk bed, but I built this loft for my now teenage daughter:
And a closet:
I love birch veneer plywood...super strong and workable.
Those spiral stairs are pretty sick HobieTony...props.Screw the net, Surf the backcountry!

Here are some photos of the inside of the "Hippy Shack." It's pretty much done, except for some trim and details. I need to make some curtains, but my sewing machine is acting up, so that will have to wait. Spent about 12 days around Aspen last month and it was quite comfy.
Looking in at the wood burner

The boot locker is heated with the vent from the propane furnace.

Yeah, really cool. I'm digging the mullion action in that back top window. Where'd you score that thing?

How does that stove draft with such a short flue? What's the collar-to-cap height? Are you running DVL stove pipe inside? How far above the roof line does your class A extend?

I've got several projects in the works. I found a set of kudu horns and skull cap at an estate sale over the summer, so I'm building a mount for it. I am also in the process of collecting the necessary timber to build a log bed.
If the log bed goes well, I hope to build a second one for my parents.Originally Posted by Smoke

Holy crap! It's the building inspector. Run for it fellas...
I was a little worried that I wouldn't get a good draft, as the "chimney" is only 65" long. It pokes out 24" above the roof:
That said, when I fired it up last night, it burned like a blast furnace. No problems whatsoever... no smoke inside the camper, no back draft, no nothing. Just raging flame. The camper heated up like a sauna.
I'm not running stove pipe at all. It's an old Scottish made stove with a metric collar. 5" pipe would work, but I couldn't find any. I'm using some 5" vent pipe and just poking it through the metal roof:
I figure that for as long as I'll be burning ( a few hours at a time max) and as often as I'll be burning (only occasionally), It would do until something better comes along. Plus it get so warm inside that the fire will need to be pretty small (no big logs!). The metal roof around the pipe does get hot, but not so hot that you cant leave your hand on it for 5 or 6 seconds. All nearby combustibles are shielded so, while I'll definitely want to keep an eye on it in the beginning, I'm not too worried.Don't ask.... Don't tele

Maddog - That is most excellent! Awesome stuff.
Where do you plan to use that thing, and for how long at a stretch?
I just started researching tiny houses as they're intriguing as hell. I could see building one totally off the grid in some primo BC.Last edited by YoEddy; 08-27-2014 at 08:39 PM.

It was designed to be my ski-in/ski-out ski chalet'. It will spend most time in the C-lot at Mary Jane, but will also frequent Copper, Loveland, Steamboat, and where ever else I end up. Usually just 3-5 day trips. The maiden voyage was this summer in and around Aspen for 11 days, and it performed well. Every trip exposes new "stuff" you want to do to perfect it.

some crazy good craftsmen posting these last few pages.
I'm wondering, specifically with the metal spiral stairs: how do you know or what math do you use to figure out how many steps you need and the spacing for building something like that.
My luck I'd just start building and come out with a one step down to the second floor once it reached the top.I still call it The Jake.

There are codes that govern the geometry of the spiral, with limitations on how narrow the tread can be (7.5" at 12" from the inside edge), max riser height, and headroom limitations, among others. We had about 5 iterations layed out full scale on the floor, finally found one that met all the applicable codes and made the client happy. Probably took 2 days to get the final layout.
