Just wanted to say hello.

I am just beginning my journey to a teardrop or small travel trailer.

I am a blacksmith by trade. The weekends often find the wife and I a hundred or so mile from home. We do a lot of craft shows.
Guess I am just getting too old to "enjoy" tent camping. And this seems to be a good way to get more comfortable in a hurry for not toooooooo much money. Besides, I really like building my own stuff.

Who knows, after this I may build a small boat...... hmmmmmmmm :thinking:

Later,

JJ, hope you enjoy the playground. Funny I found this site looking to build a boat. 8) If you like to build go for it. It is a very satisfying way to get in a TD. Do you weld also? It will come in handy.

Jump in, Ask questions, give answers and most of all take lots of :pictures:
Keeps the bubble oil level. :thumbsup:

I do weld and I am planning on incorporating some of my talents into this trailer. You can see some of the stuff I do at http://groups.msn.com/jmetals .

Thanks for the welcome

JJ Welcome


My guess after looking at your website is your in Tejas. I always wanted to be a blacksmith but thought I was just born a 100 years or so too late. You're livin my dream :thumbsup: You do nice work.

You are correct. I am in Texas. Just a few miles south of Ft Worth.
And thanks to everyone for the nice words and thoughts.
