Teardrop builders manual

[tony.latham]

Eighteen months in the making:



I hope this takes some angst from first-time builders and gets worn out while working on their own labor of love.

It's available deep in the Amazon Jungle:

121 pages, 221 photos, and 31 pencil-biting chapters.

Congrats on publishing the book, Tony! Looks really good. It being on Amazon, it will be readily available to people here who need the extra help.

I will be ordering it - more info ............... Take care and Good Luck with one!!! T.Hoefer Camano Island, Wash.

Good luck with it!

I just gave you a 5 star review to help along! Hope it posts. It will be under a friends name (her account) I think...

You got yours that fast? I hope you looked at fairly hard before you put those five stars up? It hasn't posted yet, but I'll be interested to read it.

Thanks a bunch.

Congratulations on another publication.
I'm sure it will help those who need a complete plan of action in their hands to build a teardrop.
The price is reasonable especially compared to that worthless cruffle creek thing I bought years ago.
Gave it to someone on the forum.
Were you a game warden?
You might want to put a short cut to it in your signature line.

That means a lot coming from a builder like you.

And yes, I was a warden. Retired in 2009 and still chase around the country teaching the new kids.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Maybe your clairvoyant?

I wish Grant Whipp had written one. There are others on this forum that should consider it too.

I've had an occasional request to make one, but the time involved and the assumed liability if something terrible goes wrong, in this sue happy world, discourages me.
I know nothing about publishing.
I'd rather be building than wrighting a book.
Besides my apprentice (wife) in the shop and my own projects keep me quite busy.

One thing I've done on each build is to take pictures of just about every process along with drawings and supplies receipts so I don't have to reinvent it all over again.
Still have all my jigs in the event I want to make another teardrop.
Something we should all consider doing.

I'm sure your manual will fill the need out there, thanks Tony

I could write one on mistakes and what not to do! I think it would complement yours nicely Tony!

BTW, for those familiar with Tony's other books, I was expecting this to be the same size, and was pleased to see it is larger--more like the size of many woodworking books out there and more convenient for shop use.

About a quarter way through, and plan to write an Amazon review when finished in a day or two.
