The first (home-made) Teardrop from Argentina???

Postby ajaversa » Tue Nov 02, 2010 10:58 am

Hola, finalmente comenzare a fabricar mi lagrima en casa, ya compre los caños para el trailer y ahora estoy por comprar las ruedas,

la primer pregunta que quiero hacer, de que espesor me recomiendan que sea el fenolico (placas de madera) de las paredes? las voy a hacer simples, sin que sean dobles, sin aislante al centro. 12mm es muy fina?

Gracias!!!

Hi, finally I'll start with the construction of my tears at home, I buy the pipes for the trailer and now I want to buy the wheels,

The first question I want to do, that I recommend that thickness is the phenolic (wooden plates) on the walls? I'm going to do simple, without being doubles without insulating the center.

12mm is very thin?

Thanks!

Time to make some sawdust.

12 mm is pretty thin for a single wall. My single walls are 24mm.

Google Translation:

Es hora de hacer algunos aserrín. :thumbsup:

12 mm es bastante delgada para una sola pared. Mis paredes son solo 24 mm.

12 mm is about 1/2 inch thick, which should be fine.

24 mm is basically one inch thick plywood. That is HEAVY!.

Yahoo/Babelfish Translation:

12 milímetros son la pulgada del cerca de 1/2 gruesa, que debe ser fina. 24 milímetros son básicamente una pulgada de grueso de la pulgada. Eso es PESADO!.

Plywood in the USA is not sold in metric sizes. Our normal sizes convert to 12.7mm and 19.05mm. The correct thickness of my walls is 19.05mm.


La madera contrachapada en los E.E.U.U. no se vende en tamaños métricos. Nuestros tamaños normales convierten hasta 12.7mm y 19.05mm. El grueso correcto de mis paredes es 19.05m m.

¡Ah! No estaba seguro si era portugués o español. Conseguido lo. Es español.

Wasn't sure if it was Portuguese or Spanish. It is Spanish.


Buen trabajo. Guárdenos informó. Será muy interesante mirar.

Good work. Keep us informed. Will be interesting to watch.

I have a concern with this weld - It appears that the bracket has an offset to compensate for the spring. This is a point where most of the force of the camper is going to get transferred to the axle, multiply this by four - one for each weld joint offset and it adds up. It needs something to brace the end that is hanging over the side - a gusset maybe?

_____________________________________________________________

Tengo una preocupación con esta autógena - aparece que el soporte tiene una compensación para compensar el resorte. Esto es un punto adonde la mayor parte de la fuerza del campista va a conseguir transferida al árbol, multiplica esto por cuatro - uno para cada compensación y él del empalme de la autógena agrega para arriba. ¿Necesita algo apoyar el extremo que está colgando sobre el lado - un escudete quizá?
