 David your teardrop is great. cant wait to start mine. What kind of wood is it you used.

   And Chris and Sue thanks for the interest im sure i will be contacting you when i start building mine.

 School hols are all mine as i work in school february being first ones hopefully will start then.

hi the wood we used for the sides was 6mm marine ply and for the top curve and hatch was 4mm flexy ply and 12mm ply for base

I'm selling my 5' x 9' part finished Woody.

18mm ply floor is fixed to an Alko caravan chassis, walls are 12mm ply ready to be lined, kitchen cabinets are in the initial stages.  No roof as yet

Interested?

£400 as it is with some extras such as steadies, lights etc.

e-mail me -  peter.jones2 at ntlworld.com for more pics.

Note price is not negotiable - thats what its cost me in wood, varnish and screws etc.  If it doesn't go soon - it'll be Ebay fodder as I'm moving house soon.  When completed, these babies sell on Ebay for £1000+

Does anyone know of any teardrop meets or rallies taking place so i could go and look at other projects.
