Come to the dark side, MultiTale Alt! We got cookies!Glad you found the true path and are now a loyal disciple of the DadCaves movement :D

Thanks, rodneyfrey13. I never realized I needed this so much ;) Definately a keeper.

Cheers. Please vote on the Home&Garden competition. I've submitted this build (need to buy all the 3D printing plastics ;) )

Actually today at the DIY store I've seen very nice plastic siding panels. Similar color, imitates wood. I was surprised.

Where is a will, there is a way. Many people in my country "hunt" leftover building materials via local adds and build their stuff dirt cheap this way. Just sold a half-roll of wind barrier film for some 10€ just to get rid of it. The full one costs ~60€ around here.

Y u no like mai engrish? :DI ran out of english words as a non-native speaker. So it's sticks for me and not some fancy english word like beams, supports or studs ;)

I knew I forgot to put something essiantial in :D

Thanks, liquidsands. This one is under reconstruction. I want to take it longer distances, and with the current size it's a bit impractical.

Appreciate the feedback, Lovell3140

Indeed you can. I wanted a climbable, usable and loadable roof. That needed extra strength. I doubt PVC is up for the task.

My kid went to Taize this year. He felt a strong personal insut seeing a kebab cost 12€ in France. Local teardrop manufacturer asks 8-16K€ for similar builds here. Which is absolute shenanigans.

Thanks for your comment, tcmccormick (that alot of 'c's for a nickname :D ).Indeed, I'm enjoying this quiet corner of my garden way too much now ;)

Indeed, war is a disaster. Especially when my country has 2 out of 4 neighbors at war (Russia and Belarus) and are the aggressors.I've also included my father. That was 3 generations of my family building this one. I truly only now start to appreciate the family ties & joint experiences.

Cheers, Steve. Basic carpentry skills come in handy at times. At least this this time I only managed to hit 2 of my fingers with a hammer, not more! Must be improving ;)

Indeed I do. It was very annoyingly loud when testing.

Hey, FabrizioB4 - thanks for the comments.Indeed - the quality of work increased quite a bit. It really allows me to separate work and home now. Previously, working from home, it was very tricky.To answer your questions:1) Vertical poles: I used long Torx screws to do a 45 degrees fixing with some 4 screws. Added diagional short supports top/bottom to make sure the whole thing doesn't bend to one side. 2) Stove is ~50 kgs, so no extra support underneath. Looks fine to me ;)Prices - indeed - although one can choose cheaper materials - i.e. plastic siding panels are much cheaper compared to wooden ones. I'm also not too sure about actual insulation needs. Quite a few people "hunt" for leftover building materials being given away, donated or sold on the cheap via local ads. Dream, …

Dream, act, and you'll make it! Best of luck building your own mancave.

What a beautiful wonderful beast! You, sir, are a legend. Thank you. 3D printed stuff was a cherry on top. Pure creativity at it's best.

You, Sir, are a champ!!

Thanks, 3D. Tyring to teach them skills bit by bit.

You, sir, are a legend! ;)

Thanks, Ricardo. Indeed, Makita seems to make good tools both for home use and professional.I was amazed by the pull and hold of the Torx - a lesson for me as well - do not be afraid to try out new things.

Cheers, sashanmidoh. Pinterest is full of similar (and not) builds. Thus, there are plenty of opportunities for inspiration.

That is a nice build, Realy_Grumpy. Indeed, my v2 will be much better :)Quite a few decissions were made based on the need of climbable and usable roof.

Cheers, etriker

The trailer platform was not modified in any way (lights, reflectors, tires, suspension, electricals, etc.) . This can be considered an add-on tent.

Thanks, 13blue. Indeed, round shaped don't work well with rood racks.

'cause I was being an ignorant smartass and it came back and bit me :D Live and learn, I guess.

Thanks, docron75 . Camping for 48 years must have resulted in many, many great memories. Any specific trip that stands out?

Thanks, TimKern! Glad you liked it.

There is not much on the interior. :) Very minimalistic.

Around 750 kgs.

Much appreciated, seamster. You have a splendid project as well.I strongly considered a similar build to yours, but, you know, 5 people + stuff + a dog....I now have to figure out a decent way to transport 5 bikes as well. Thinking of a vertical rack/fixings on the back.

Cheers, John! I'd appreciate a vote on a Plywood challenge.

HYPEphillips, I've indeed looked into skin-on-frame and foamies. There was a a need to fully access and use the roof (250-300 kg load when stationary). Thus, typical roofs and studs looked not strong enough.

Thanks, Boyeur-vegetal

Absolutely gorgeous bag & would be well fitted for Lara Croft herself.Any chance you make and sell those on Etsy?

That is truly one amazing and well detailed build. Thanks for sharing it.Teardrop is a long time dream for me. Yet the price in e. Europe would stand nearly 1,500-2,000 euro, thus I'm still undecided. Anyhow, happy to vote for your instructable for the tiny homes competition.

amazing instructable, tdonoclift. thanks for the effort and sharing!!
