Wayne, one need not be a woodworker to appreciate the time and effort it took to build such a fine looking teardrop trailer. Every aspect of your woodworking skills are on display, and I must say you have done an amazing job. (Thanks a lot, now I have another reason to go out and throw rocks at my woody). The efforts to mask off the wood during your caulking of the spaces between the boards, is one of many clever, rarely seen, proceedures that is so impressive. Good job, and waterproof too.
I do have a few questions though, if you don't mind. What took you so long to get logged onto the forum? However, it doesn't appear that you were in need of any advice during your build, except for the axle change. I am curious to know how much it weighs. It looks like you made the shell out of 3/4 inch plywood, and laminated additional wood to the exterior. Are you also a builder or restorer of fine old wooden boats? I am sure when you went to the boat show you mentioned, the ol' wooden boaters couldn't believe their eyes.
That map display on the interior is surely a first, and perhaps you can tell us what part of the world it displays. I know you will enjoy using and displaying your one-of-a-kind product of true workmanship. Hey, you even have the usually hidden cabinet bottoms, made of recessed panels to match the doors. I, for one commend you for your efforts, and truely know the challenges and successes you encountered in your build. Yes, one outstanding teardrop, it makes me want to run my hands all over it.........Great!
