Using Filon, this will be a Step-By-Step tutorial on how to build your very own teardrop. A Simple backyard build, a project you will be proud of! We will be covering the outside of the teardrop with Filon. This will be a lot of fun… hope you stick around and enjoy the process!
This is Part 2 of my teardrop trailer project - Do It Yourself - video. Starting from the ground up of a 4 x 8 camp trailer. This is a Work-In-Progress, thank you for watching!

Do you have CAD files available?
If so, what's the cost?
@@XS11Collector Howdy! No, no CAD files available, only printed plans. Thanks!
Great video. This is going to help a lot of people.
Thanks Meandering! I hope to help at least a couple people along the way, that makes it a lot more fun!
Good instructional video, good job
Thanks DR... best is yet to come! :)
Man this is a great way to make the profile, thank you for the info. Like Tom said now I am paying attention to the teacher well done OB
:) Thanks man!
Subscribed and following this build. Not so much that I want to build a teardrop, but because of your meticulous and well thought out steps. Processes can be used for other type builds. Thanks for making this excellent build series 👍🏻
Thnak youracrx7! Could not agree with you more! The processes can be used for so much more!
Awesome. and a cliffhanger ending too!
Hope it keeps 'em wanting to come back! :)
You are a skilled builder.
Thank ya Jim Bo!
Brother, I subscribed the moment I realised that your wearing a seiko 007 , great taste you have there. Thanks for your excellent video on a teardrop build. I had a dream last Thursday that I would build a teardrop . It's totally out of the blue but I'm going to do it and I'm going to do it this winter. Thanks again
Chris in the west of Ireland
Awesome man! Make those dreams come true!
very good, mr. Batman!
Thank you sir!
I respect the detail in what you're doing in this video, but what's to stop someone just clamping 2 sheets together and freehanding the overall shape and cutting the 2 sheets together?
Absolutely nothing... BUT, if you wanted to build a another teardrop, you would have to start all over again. Making templates makes it easier for a second build. Thanks for checking it out!
@@OregonBatman thanks for the reply! That makes sense.. It'd be a one off for me!
Nice work
Thank you Ryan!
I can’t wait til next year when we buy our first house and I have space to start on a lil trailer like this. Question do you know what the smallest car you would need to pull something like these. I have a Camry
Thank you Ali Dig! The first teardrop I built, I pulled it with a Toyota Tercel. Weighed in at about 650 pounds. This one should come in at/under 1000, so a Camry should handle that just fine!
OregonBatman cool thanks
Could you please let me know where I can get the axel for the teardrop trailer plans that's all I need to complete my camper thanks for everything
I purchased the axle at Southwest Wheel Company (online)
Really enjoy your videos
Where do you get your Filon from
Thanks Darrin
Hi Darrin! Thanks for checking out the videos... I purchased the Filon from Affordable RVing in Portland Oregon. You can also find it on Ebay, I believe they also sell it there
Nice
Thank you!
what determined your layout marks for your curve? What determined the shape of the arc?
Hello Dave3000! I created my teardrop plans and used the drawings to determine the layout for the curve... once lofted on the wood, used a batten to bend on the marks to develop the shape. Not really an arc... more or less a spline.
Is there a link for the plans available?
is this technic can be use for thin aluminum bar?
Hi! Yes... aluminum bar, fiberglass, plastic... anything that will take a bend without kinking or snapping will work just as well! Thanks for watching!
My God...are you good.
Me, to trace my profile, I just used small nails and a thin dowel.
Thanks Ira! I've done a little lofting years ago using small nails. We used to paint the plywood white, then make our lines (old boat building technique). But either way works great!
Do you work at Chase doors
I sure do... 15 years there
I’m sorry but this seems like a lot of work just to make curve. It did turn out nice, though
Coming from the boating industry made me do it... :) Not only that, but a lot of first time builders struggle to make a straight line, so... I gave options :) Thank you for checking it out and for the compliment!
