greetings from charleston

hello,

I've been browsing around this forum for several days now, i have to say there is a wealth of information available (good thing i'll need it).

I frequently go camping, and it is one of my very favorite things to do, generally i just go tent camping. I recently lost my job, and i decided to just lay low for a while and collect my unemployment. Surprisingly however i have been finding myself extremely bored, wanting to build or work on something.

After consuming a few beers last weekend while camping, i had the idea that i could build a trailer, and put a mini kitchen inside of it to take camping, before long that idea grew to building a camper.

That being said i havent done any wood working since i built pinewood derby cars 15 years ago for boy scouts. I did happen to inherit a fair amount of woodworking tools from my grandmother last year that have just been taking up space.

So my plan is to try to absorb knowledge from many people on these boards and start building a basic teardrop next month. if i like it and it turns out nice, maybe i'll sell it and build one that is more challenging.

Thanks in advance for everyones help,

Joe

Hi Joe,

First, I hope you find a new job quickly.

Have fun building your camper. We built a 4 x 8 teardrop, and it is so light we can tow it with any vehicle. It was the first time we built anything like this. If we can do it you can too! Good Luck!
