Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

The Trailer is my design. I've built a lot of utility and snowmobile trailers. Everytime I build one I find something I don't like. Will see how I do on this one. Hey but I can always make changes to the next one. Right?

Looks great.

Definately professinally made.

Would be nice to have that kind of knowledge while building my first trailier.

Wow! That is beautiful work! Everything is very neat and tidy - I have glue drips and pencil marks, sawdust and scraps...

I'm stuck on roof skin right now, and you're making it look very easy. Great job!

It's a hard thing to do choose between fishing and working on the Tear. Here are some progess pictures.

Thanks for your comments. The CPES arrived and it looks like that will be the next job. Then I can start on the aluminum skins. but first there is the next 2 weekends of fishing.

What promised to be a thorough pphoto record of jkidd6339's build thread turned out to be a series of tiny boxes, each with a little red x in it. This happens sometimes with email but missing out on all this is another matter! Anyone more compter savvy know what program I must add and from where?

Things that you can try are update your browser, get the latest flash update, get the latest Java update or try a different browser. There is also a check box in most browsers that turns off the pictures for people with slow connections.

That is incredibly beautiful work. You made it so clean and neat. Your series of photos makes it look easy. Nice Job! :thumbsup:

Amazing, this electronic stuff. I did nothing new and every picture from both this site and your link came through just fine, and I'm so glad.

What an neat design and what neat workmanship in both the build and the documentation. I could (and did) take mental notes as to things like what was board and what was plywood, what got two screws and what got one, how the spars are spaced, and more.

This is a build to follow and to try to emulate.

Thanks for the kind words. I'm glad your browser decided to start working again.

Here is the latest work. The screw holes and staple holes have been filled with epoxy putty and the first coat of cpes has been applied.

Every step you take will be a big steip for a while now, a very satisfying stage! It looks great!
