- Rain was pouring down as I finished editing this episode. Trimming, speeding up the boring parts, voiceovers, text and music has taken three days, about 12 hours a day. I finished a few moments ago, straining to hear above the downpour, in the workshop, with the doors wide open. The windows in the travel trailer were open too. But NOTHING GOT WET! This weather front brought cool temperatures and I'm thankful that. I am sure the dogs are liking that nice breeze too. If it weren't for the awnings, I would have had to close the windows and doors, and, well...like I say in this video, 'Some of my best projects happen because I know how to sew.'

I was a Parachute Rigger in the Air Force, we used to sew all kinds of stuff... parachute risers, drag chutes, gunnery targets, g-suits, enging covers. Having sewing skills does come in handy.
I built hot rods and we always know a guy like you. 👍
2:13 :chefs_kiss: perfection, nothing like hand carved like the good ol days
Nice update Marty. Glad you solved the problem with the awnings. Stay safe & well. 👍👍
Love your videos. Don't sweat it. Florida Joe
what ever you make is amazing
I usually wait till beer thirty to watch Marty's new videos. They are always relaxing and calming for me and always go well with a frosty PBR!
Marty. I am really enjoying the new Workshop videos thanks for sharing.
You the man it looks great
Great job Marty fyi check your camera light settings inside trailer it shows black shadows 📽️🎥 Think it might be the flux capacitor 🏆👍🌴🌅
I made a similar awning for my old Shasta Aeroflyte. I used a thick duct tape the reinforce the pocket and make it thicker. I used some RG 59 as the cane inside the awning pocket.
I have sewed Gore-Tex parkas (back when WL Gore would sell fabric to non-commercial people), fanny packs, back packs, bivvy-sacks and lots of other things. Why? Because I couldn't afford ready-made outdoor gear at the time The parkas were in kit-form from Frostline but they gave me a start. Everything else came out of my brain. It sure makes you able to plan in 3-D! It is actually kind of fun!
More fishing/kayaking/island exploring videos once you finish the workshop!!!
Hi Marty! Your work trailer is coming along very nicely! Somehow you take something that someone else trashed/threw out/junked, and work your “magic” (ie put your vast skill sets and ingenuity, creativity and talents to work) to make something awesome and useful! You can’t be afraid or hesitant of trying something new or putting hole(s) into something to make your ideas work! Being inventive, means to be confident in the skill set(s) one learns; put the brain and tools together and viola! Being creative is most satisfying when you have done it or improvised it yourself!
ahh. Time to relax for a few, stop by Marty's watch him work. Quite the transformed trailer! Brilliant use of pool noodle
I no all about sewing i have one sewing machine that was my great grandmothers i even have a old treadmill it is powered by your foot and i have several commercial sewing machines and dematic and sergers 3 thread and 4 thread blind stitch machine and walkingfoot my grandma had a shop she was a slip cover upholstery drapery/ curtains and my Aunt had her shop as well. So i do know a lot about sewing. It looks good it will help keep it cooler in your trailer. For the work shop id two pipes to hold it up then use rope to the trees to keep it tight
kayaks, boats and now a workshop! its your uncanny way of talking and guiding people thru the process that makes you special dude! I still cant wait to see your fishing content once again! Been watching since 2013 keep on keepin on my friend!
A DAY LIKE THAT MAKES YOU WANT A COOL 1 OR 2 OR 3 , WHAT THE HELL 6 PACK FOR SURE !!!!!👍😎......
YES! 1986 METS! Also was loving it he he he, Also grew up in Queens on and off! hahahaha
It looks great. Shame the Go-Pro had issues with the lights.
Thanks for the great videos Marty! I always enjoy seeing your unending list of skills. Thanks again!
Sweet
Living "Off-the-grid" in Florida looks much easier than building for the Northern Woods of Michigan.
Your 2nd. Generation awning designs will probably have "side" panels for wind-driven rain protection, I'm predicting.
I too am pondering how long your cute little trailer will survive without constant maintenance and I'm wondering if it provides enough "Quality of Life" functionality . One of my sons lived in a similar trailer on Beaver Island in Lake Michigan , it didn't work out for him. These trailers are weekend campers, at best .
Of course , you're Producing outstanding CZcams Content here so : this Fantasy Project will be a Successful Series !!
I'm realizing the you Marty are just like that Picture Painter on TV ( Ross ? ) , you create these fascinating projects like kayak design developments, Cabin Cruiser projects and now Off-the-Grid Living in Florida .
Congratulations on your successful Life

Nice work Marty
Awesome video Marty; great craftsmanship with the trailer/workshop and I think you could develop an awning system that most travel trailer owners could install themselves and be cost effective too. You would probably need to get it patent so it's your product and get a mfr to build it. This could help to build some income, which in today's economy, there is no such thing as too much money 💰.
Back when I first went to college (late 70's); I worked at a tv/sewing machine repair shop. Needlessly to say, I got my introduction to sewing. LoL. I learned how and how to repair and adjust machines that were out of time and replace worn/broken gears. Getting machines back to working order made the customers happy. So having the knowledge to sew isn't a bad thing at all, as your awning project worked out pretty good. 73 and GOD bless Earnest k5ewm.
👏 Great vid! I need some land. I practically live in a HOA-like community and it is sucking my creative soul out of me. Crabby neighbors harass me for any backyard projects.
Nice Video , Have had that same issue with a leaking slide out on my camper, would run down the wall and run towards the lowest point and caused the floor to rot.
As a giant rays fan i hope you root for your new home team, i actually went to a rays vs Mets game earlier this year
There is no greater experience in life than to take on a project that is over your, and to complete it. You walk away think, "Wow I didn't know I had it in me. But I guess I do."
That sets you up to know, there is nothing to great for an Inventor.
P.S. The money you are saving living in that trailer can make it possible for you to maybe buy some property and build your own house on it. YOU CAN DO IT.! 👍😎👌
Marty nice job on that awning , Keep up the good work!
Great job! as always
Some folks would call styrofoam ASMR torture. I got straight A's in Home Ec. I had a job in leather repair shop. I own an old parlor treadle, that I restored. It has that piping foot you are missing.
I have the same issue with a couple of my no aperture cameras in my shop, which I totally rebuilt with LED lighting. They will make those bands, especially if the LED tube is directly in the frame. Even with anti flicker settings on and correct, it can still do it. Since your GoPro doesn’t have an aperture it defends from over exposure by cranking up the shutter speed. Once you get up in the high one hundredths the bands show up as the shutter is firing faster than the mhz rate. It’s not so bad like you said if the camera is not moving, and if the light source is not directly in the frame. Yours are much lower than mine, as in right over the bench in some spots. Something I have found that works is to manually lock the shutter at 1/60 or 1/50 which is lousy for whipping the camera around by hand (blurring) but won’t band. It will force your camera to adjust with ISO instead of shutter. Give it a try. Still loving this construction series. Inspired me to organize and clean out my shop.

Big Love From Virginia Jesus Saves us 🙏 Love the channel.☝️🔥🇺🇸
Add a little visor over the gopro so the sensor will act on the light in the forground.
0:27 is that an olfa hand saver? Oooooohhh!
Marty, check your gopro for a flicker setting. I forgot what its called but there is a frequency related setting in gopro. Pretty sure its called flicker reduction 50 or 60 hz. You can try that. On a different note I have to applaud your courage with window shade project. I had to replace my entire awning on the motorhome alone and it was a pain in the arse... probably because I had to do it in 98F and 70% humidity hunched under my now removed (after it broke during light tornado) rv carport. Ditto on the rain. Here in Keysville we got 25 inches of rain since the memorial day and honestly I am SO SO SO over it now. As I am writing this... it is pouring cats and dogs outside.
He needs ferrite core after the dimmer
The LEDs are working off PWM from your 110v HitLight transformers and dimmers (its turning them on and off really fast, faster than human eye can perceive). The lights are going in and out of a divisible sync with the camera's framerate. Changing the camera's framerate may or may not work, but it's easy to try (swapping 60/50 or 30/25 FPS)... A test to prove it is the dimmer/transformer is bypass the dimmer and transformer, just running the lights strips direct to two of the batteries in series to get your 24v; there won't be any PWM and it'll run the LED strips at a constant state.

You can add two little eye bolts below the awning for two tie downs? About half way down the window on both sides? Then a breeze wont be a problem :)
My brother did a lot of work on his rv tear out inside walls lights ceiling redid the whole thing two years later started leaking again so you’re right your bill cheap
Another thought. Buy another Goodwill Trailer. (CHEAP!!!) Transfer all the interior things that seem to be of higher quality from the travel trailer to the new GW trailer and you will be waaaaay ahead in longevity!
Led lights do that to the gopro. Im not sure there is a fix other than a different camera. Paul cuffaro has that issue with his fish building lights
Ferrite core after dimmer
Flicker fix install ferrite core after the dimmer.
Wouldn’t the foam insulation perform better if the foil side was on top reflecting heat away?
My mom was a sewing lady and I bet she has the foot for either her sewing machine or the overlock machine both elna.
at 27:57 when look at the window it looks like someone is waving in the window
I'm a lifelong Mets fan. Also, I think you should've come down a little lower on those windows. Not quite halfway but further down! Just my opinion?
?? I thought you were doubling the foam board for the ceiling section?? Just wondering
Marty, what is the correct name for that awning track? I’m looking to do this to my homemade camper
do a tutorial on how to make those Tiki statues you used to make
hmm seems like the counter top LED strips frequency doesnt agree with the frame rate of camera. i get that when its stationary you dont see it but when the counter top lights are one even while stationary you can see a slight area where its dimmed on the recording. but how to repair, might have to deal with the LED drivers. not sure if you can adjust them but maybe it needs to be a different voltage or something. maybe someone smarter can chime in lol
And next thing Marty might do, is install an air conditioner!
You was a Mets fan? 😅
That travel camper will last long enough to build a more permanent structure. You will have the workshop completed & on site. What will you build for GooTubes?
Hey Marty, shouldn't the foil side be facing up to reflect the heat out of your work space?
i would think a wooden dowel would work much better than rope
Are you living in a van down by the river?
But what about when it snows....!@#$%&&*(()
Guess Marty didn’t read all the comments on the first video of his insulation- reflective side should be up. Come’on man! 😂
It's not sewing, it's power thread injecting.
What's the deal with your video and those dark shades every so often?
Jack Jones New Orleans French quarter good job
