2011 Completed Build Summary

Postby jdarkoregon » Sat Dec 24, 2011 10:36 am

The year goes by so fast that I usually lose track of some of the trailers completed during the year.

IF you completed your trailer in the year of 2011 PLEASE post a couple pictures of your project here

Thanks, We all are looking forward to seeing a summary of the year's builds

My (Standrop) was finished in October 2011. It was first named (Club Car) but I rethought it after I finished it. There is a drop floor and folding beds so you can stand up if you are under 5'9".

"Silver Nugget" The Class of 2011

I started this build late 2009 working on it outside when I could weather and time permitting. Our first outing was August 2011. We took it out at least a half dozen times before it got cold. Can't wait till next summer.

Started building this trailer a year ago yesterday and "finished" sometime in early April 2011.

Still a few little things to do. But, isn't that the truth about TDs and TTTs?

Woodbutcher...
What a stunning build! It's one of the most practical trailers I have seen. It follows the basic lines of a traditional Teardrop with all the extra room. great job!!

Mike,
Please don't get me wrong, but your first photo hit me with "it's too industrial looking for me" However, all subsequent photos completely changed my mind!! What a great build!! You have done a great job, and it looks like you have plenty of room. I see you have spared no expense in building a great trailer. Thanks for sharing.....
BTW/ noticed the S&G boats (CLC?) in your superb garage...nice

Oh! I am glad I don't work for you!! :applause:

Thanks Larry for the kind words. I had a great time making it. This is a fine group of trailers in the class of 2011. I'm on to #3 now. This one is completely different then the first two.

Yes, Larry, both of those boats are from Chesapeake Light Craft. One is a 12-foot canoe and the other is a 16-foot kayak. My father built both.

Also, yes, I was going for a more angular, industrial look. I may still add more diamond tread plate angle pieces along all the vertical and horizontal corners and certainly over the tongue box, the fridge door, and the galley backsplash.

Finally, I think I was a pretty good boss in my earlier lives. But, that is really for others to judge.

Thanks for you comments. I'm happy that you liked the TTT.
