A Teardrop Builder's Shop Manual

Plans for the 'Rondack Lodge











Due to interest from visitors to this site, and supporters, I have produced two resources for the home-builder. The Builders ShopManual covers the construction of a wooden Teardrop Trailer in great detail.
The 'Rondack Lodge Plans CD covers the construction of The 'Rondack Lodge.
The manual is in PDF format, on a CD-rom
.

There are over 200 pages with many photos and diagrams of my "Inside-Out" Method I have develpoed.
There are three profiles, Drawn by Andrew Gibbens, of Classic designs.
With this manual and basic skills, you will be able to build your own Wooden Teartrop Trailer, from plans, or a sketch on a napkin!


Here are some comments from satisfied customers..

"Just wanted to let you know I received the CD today.  I have already previewed and wanted to compliment you on a job well done."
Jim Z

"Awesome!  From the non woodworker, I can say this is a great tool and will be a great resource when I build the new tear.  Thanks for your hard work."
Kevin  M

"I have been enjoying the CD.  It is really well written.  I have basically read the 1st couple of sections, and skimmed the rest.  I look forward to reading the rest....
 I could use your technique to make it two different types of wood rather than a painted aluminum exterior.  Maybe a dark cherry or walnut and birch sides.  Thanks for the inspiration and the CD. "
-Ray

 "Your disk shipped on Monday 2 Oct and I received it here in the St Louis
metro area on Saturday 7 October.
I did not take my after church Sunday nap on the 8th, spent most of the
day with your CD. I really enjoy your perspective. You sure do use a
router do you not! Charles A

The Plan Package is in PDF form, on CD.
There are over 60 pages of drawings and building notes.
A slide show showing the construction of the prototype is also included.
Since the build of the 'Rondack is based upon my methods shown in my ShopManual, I recommend that you purchase the Manual if you don't already have it. You can, of course, build the 'Rondack with just the plans and your imagination.

The cost of the Teardrop Builder's manual is $59.95, and is shipped postage paid.
The cost of the 'Rondack plans CD is $49.95, shipped postage paid.
You can purchase a combination CD with the ShopManual and 'Rondack Plans for $99.95, also postage paid.You can use the convenient Buy-It-Button to pay via Pay-Pal.
Or send a check, (drawn on a U.S. bank) and your choices  to:
Steve Frederick
