Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

Worked on these on and off this week. When it rained i built cabinet faces in side , On nice days i drug her out side to work on hatch , When hatch build got to stressful i would go back to cabinets. When waiting for cabinets to dry and stuff i would work on hatch for a while .. Here are the results .

Looking good Norm,

I like your idea of moving to something else when the stress builds, especially since the hatch is one of my next projects.

Tom

Very nice cabinets!

ohhh ohhh i got a question.

how the heck did you get your wood to bend like that for the hatch?


im doing it the good old benroy way, but i dont know how he got the wood to bend.

You don't bend the wood to the radius of the hatch. Just cut it out of plywood to the radius of your profile. The Benroy plans should have a detailed way of doing it.
I personally just took some paper and taped it up to the opening of the hatch on my profile and traced it. It gave me the exact curve I needed for the hatch opening. I cut out 5 ribs to that template.

By the way Norm your teardrop is coming along nicely. Keep at it and you will be camping in no time

Your cabinets look very well laid out and I like the depth that it has with the shelf on top and the space available underneath, it looks great and your hatch looks all put together too! !!

Thanks Thomas , coming from you means alot cause i copied your ideas on my tear drop from the shape down to the door hinges and door trim with the t- moulding and i am going to hinge my gallery the way you did as well
THANKS MAN
