Hi All, Does anybody have a photo of a canned ham frame? I need it for my book. Similar to the pictures below but more from the side. (my space is limited-hard to get a good side shot) I'll be making a diagram out of the photo; labeling parts, etc. I would prefer one with laminated edge boards rather than solid wood, just to show how they were originally constructed. Thanks, VK This one is "OK" but doesn't have the edges going to the bottom...  This one is the wrong angle and hard to label:  Thanks. PM me or post here... Vikx |

Now I really can't wait for your book! All the framing diagrams will be so helpful!

Rob would be happy to lend me a picture, but the Mobile Sportsman doesn't have the laminated edge boards... at least not after he rebuilt it. All I really need is a skeleton type side view.
Callie, not to disappoint you, but it's just to show the names of things... like wheel well, skirt boards, etc.

Are you talking about the curbing? The laminated raised edges all the way around the edge of the trailer?
This is a little off topic but that's one of the HUGE mistakes that Shasta made. The curbing should go inbetween the framing which should span both walls. Shasta put the curbing all the way around and then toe-nailed the framing into the corners of the walls. No structural integrity there other than the paneling itself. So when you rebuild the trailer, you should go ahead and span the walls with the framing and THEN install curbing inbetween the framing. The curbing is only there to give you something to attach the cap rail and J-Rail too as well as a place to fold the top metal over. Of course the newer shastas went to J-Rail all the way around finally.

I'm doing a diagram of an original canned ham and how they were built. The laminated edge boards are part of many brands, so I wanted to show them. I'll use the top photos if I have to, but wanted cleaner framing...
