Maybe somebody will help me.

Hi Loek,

Welcome. There are lots of old plans available, and even a couple newer ones. What exactly are you looking to build?

Hi Mike, thanks for your reaction.
First of all, sorry for my bad englisch, I try to do my best, so you can unterstand me.
To be honest with you, may be, I dont need plans from the teardrop, because, ther is so much information on the internet, that you can built one without plans !!
So fare as I now, there is not one teadrop overhere in holland ( maybe I ame wrong ) So I want to built one, and see the reaction of the people.
And I want to be in contact with people who built one or more.
Maybe You can tell me, how much hours I need to built a teardrop ?
Let say, just like the one above this page.
Can I built it within 200 hours?

I want to put a drawing on this page, You can tel me how to do this?

Loek.........

Hi Loek,

How long does it take to build a teardrop? That depends on the model and the complexity.

Teardrop #1 took me roughly 200 hours.

Teardrop #2 took me roughly 260 hours
Image

Teardrop #3 I expect will take a person about 60 hours due to the simplified construction and finishing.

I built the prototype for the Weekender last Saturday in about 1/2 a day...
Some more details here... http://tnttt.com/viewtopic.php?t=571

So depending on what you are planning on building, I would figure on allowing yourself 6 months if you work on weekends, and take a few weekends off!

So now you want to post pictures on the board. It's easy actually. Get yourself some space on the web where you can post pictures... Something like villagephotos or photobucket are free... see more details here... http://tnttt.com/viewtopic.php?t=573

Once you have a photo on village photo, for example, you'll get a url for that photo... this was pasted from village photo...

Public Image URL
For eBay's Picture URL, EZBoard, eBay galleries, or any other external use. Click to try it out!
http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2004-7/7 ... E-2-sm.jpg


Here's the secret... the URL has to end in ".jpg"
Now take that URL and post it in between img tags like this...
Image

You'll end up with a picture in your message like this...

Does that get you started? :wink:

I myself like the road toad. It gives you the same hieght through out the wholl tear. And this also alows larger cabinets in the kitchen.
