A Woody Teardrop Camper

Love it! Just saw a program on the Travel Channel on these little things. Very nice detail, not overstated at all. What was the inspiration for the flare from the door back to the top of the wheelhouse?

Beautiful!

That is so nice.

Peg, my client, works in stained glass. She sent me a sketch, I took it from there, in wood.

Welcome to LumberJocks, Steve. I think these little boogers are neat. I’m not sure I could sleep in one though. Seems a little tight. Great job.

That is so cool! I love it. That is my kind of camping!

-- Dust collectors suck.

Very cool indeed! Great job!

That is just to cool. I lived in a Spartan “1953” and just love those old wooden trailers. Now I really love the new wooden trailers! Thanks for sharing.

I want one!

Man oh man! I have always wanted to have/build one of these. I’m partial to the backpacking flavor of camping but always thought this was the way to go when the early winter arrives. You know, that time just after autumn but before all you want to do is curl up with a book by the fire every evening. Thanks for sharing this!

Outstanding camper. I really like the design and execution, well done!

I too saw the show on travel channel. I think yours looks great! Looks like all things retro are making a resurgence. There is one i saw listed in a “Sundance” catalog for some ungodly amount of money.

Awsome work! Is it long enough to sleep a 6 footer?

Thanks Tom!
This one would be a little short! I tried it out, and touched head and toes. I’m 6’2”.
My “stripper” project, and three others I’ve done, all have queen-size beds.
Two of these designs have a dinette.

Just went to your website, mighty righteous work man! I feel like Jeff does about it.

Really nice!

Nice job. I’ve thought about making one, however, being 6’ tall I don’t think it would fit me.
