I have been lurking around your wonderful forum for a while now I stumbled across it after seeing Doug Hodder's boats on the Glen L web site. I have been a hobby woodworker since high school and plan on building both a Teardrop trailer and a wooden boat. I have decided to start with a tear which will be built to go off road as I am also a climber and would like to use it on some of my climbs. I will be using Steve Frederick's construction methods and will use http://www.overlandtrailer.com/ , http://www.outbackteardrop.com/index.html , and others as my inspiration.
I will begin preparing for my build this week when I start my welding class on Wednesday evening. I have not done a lot of metal fabrication but since I will be building the teardrop frame, a boat trailer, and also would like to make a portable sawmill I thought I would start there. Once I complete my class in late October the "Basecamper" build will begin.
Thanks again for all the great info on tears and your patience with my questions as I move along!
Here are a few of my past projects:

Office
Basement/Bar
My shop - Accept for the cement I did all the work on my shop.
