- In this video, I show how to build the hardshell over our frame using 1/4" plywood and epoxy filets! (Supplies Linked below)This super simple fileting technique is a great way to add a ton of strength to any wood structure especially when you need your structure to be lightweight. Enjoy!

Awesome job! I was skeptical of your construction methods at first but it's coming together great and I'm learning a lot! Can't wait for the next one!
Keith Walker You doubted me!!?? You never doubt beards of this magnitude and crusty woodshops!! 😂😂😂 We know how to get it done!
@@PatrickRemington as a bearded man myself I have to agree but the hipsters can muddy the waters at times 😂😂😂. My apologies for doubting you and keep up the great work!!
@@keithwalker7151 Yeeaahh.. I forgot about those guys. haha! Thanks man!
Ah, the good ol' utility trailer work bench! I started on the floor of the garage/driveway, moved up to the tailgate of the truck, and then to the trailer. Even though I have a decent little shop WITH an actual workbench now, I still end up on the trailer/tailgate/floor most of the time. Awesome videos!
Thank you! Yeah, I have upgraded quite a bit since this video haha. But yes I find myself working on the floor of my shop or out in my driveway.. I’m always like, what am I doing??
@@PatrickRemington Exactly! I’ll find myself all spread out in the driveway, then turn around to see my empty shop and just shake my head and laugh. Old habits are hard to break I guess.
15:45 I really like the ridge you put in the shape. Nice little detail. That is what makes your finished top (yes, I read ahead) look like professional build.
Never knew about filets so that was cool. Looks like it hides a multitude of sins. The small imperfection became the highlights of the shape.
Very nice job,
yep! love that stuff! Thank you!
Every DIY project demands a blood sacrifice
Nicely done, I’ve stacked up my con column for rooftop tents, the main one being the cost, this series has changed my mind, thank you
This is awesome. I have designed and started making a high top roof for our 2005 Chevy Astro van and this explains the resin/joinery process better than anything else I've found on You tube. Thank you for taking the time to create these videos! Well done.
Planning on a pop-up truck camper - this should work great for my project!
I would have liked to see you put a layer of glass tape on the fillets. But you are a boat builder, and I can’t argue either that. Nice, nice work. Thank you for sharing your skill and techniques.
Yeah you could definitely do that. I did fiberglass the whole exterior.. highly recommended
I'm extremely grateful from ur knowledge. Ur a genius! And so kind to share 👍👍
He visto tantas veces tus videos que me siento muy motivado para hacer este proyecto.... desde chile un abrazo y gracias
Great video! I watch a lot of these and can see myself using your techniques. Thanks for posting it!
Thank you Patrick. Well done! You are making this series as I am planning a hard-sided-hardtop Rooftop-Pod where keeping weight down is of utmost importance. Looking forward to the rest of the series.
Very nice!! I've been kicking around doing the same thing, after seeing the prices of roof top tents. I'm glad I'm not the only one to think of building one this way!!
I love this build series. Thinking of building something like this, but on a trailer
Kevin Connors yeah I might have to do an adventure trailer series!
Patrick Remington let’s build something together man!!
Just got done moving to AK and finally saw these videos! very excited and they are amazing. Keep up the great work.
Thank you so much for making this series! As a college student, a rooftop tent is wayy out of budget, but building one is not, and it’s great to have these videos to follow along, so thank you for that!
This is incredible thank you so much. I've always wanted to build a teardrop and give inspired me to do so. Thank you.
See, I have no intention of making one of these, but love watching a craftsman at work. Great job
Love the series mate, didn’t realise I wanted to build a roof top tent until watching this.
I've worked in contruction for 20 + Plus years, I was sceptical at first... But I've learnt a lot and I'm really impressed and I'm going to give it a go.. Thanks for the videos and Well done.
Patrick, thank you for making this series; building a rooftop tent is enough work without addressing a camera. Your timing couldn't be more perfect for me! I'm working on converting my Honda Element into my full-time (rather small) home and I've been trying to figure out how to make a roof-top tent just like yours to expand my space. I'm using your series for guidance now so thank you so much!
I love Honda Elements! my sister has one. Great cars! Well, I hope these videos help you out! Just go slow, be patient with it and it will come together! if you have any questions let me know! I'm trying to respond to as many comments as I can but they are piling in faster than I thought they would!
My compliments to you. Great job explaining things. keep it up. really enjoying the series.
Just found you on TH-cam love what you are doing I have been binge watching for two days and I learned a lot keep up the good work
I came here looking for ideas for my Land Rover as shop bought roof tents are a helluva price but instead it's given me an idea for my trailer roof. Light and quite cheap to build.Thank you.
I'm extremely impressed! Great work!
Thank you!
Enjoying every minute my new favorite series..
Thank you, Your doing a great job teaching us all. Need more people like you. I hope to build me something sometime,
Good job ❤❤❤
I've been building a teardrop trailer and was trying to figure out how to completely waterproof it and add strength while saving weight. Thanks to your vid i now know an awesome way to do it, Thanks!
Thanks for sharing, sure is coming along great, looking forward to seeing it completed.
Awesome job! Thanks for the easy instructions!
Bro you make it look so easy!
Really liking this series so far. Keep up the good work.
Having done a cedar strip canoe in the past, you've given me a lot of food for thought as to how to apply that technique to this type of project. Thanks!
Really cool shape for the roof.
Awesome build and great walk throughs so far. Please keep them coming
waterdog Jones Thanks! Will do!
Keep crushing! I'm vey familiar with fillets from building a plywood kayak. You did a great job an I'm very excited to see how the rest of this goes.
Incredible! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Your videos on this build have been a huge help and inspiration for building a custom hardtop for my jeep.
Once again, great job on the video! Thanks for the ideas and insight on your build!
3 things I love in this video. The crisp angles and lines in the design details of the top, the cat, and the gratuitous “snap” of the gloves every time you put them on. Its the same thing I do when putting on gloves in my shop, but I always add the phrase “bend over!” When I snap them :-)
+ the mask when working with epoxy even when grinding.
The best. Thanks for doing this series. Greetings from argentina
Awesome! That is exactly what I need to do for my next project! Thank you for all I learned!
I love the contours of the top. It makes me want to redo the top on the pop top camper I made.
Excellent share for all the viewers... You're so humble and giving my Brother!
Great job, this gives me a lot of ideas for my next project.
Great stuff You make it look so easy. Thanks.
Love the techniques, looking to put one of these on my boat. Looking forward to the future videos! Cheers
You did an outstanding job with this and presenting it. Thank you for sharing.
Great work. Just about makes me want to get a new vehicle just to build one to put it on. 👍👍
New vehicles are overrated... DIY RTT is where it's at!!
@@PatrickRemington well by new I mean different. I dont think it will go well on my little car.
I'm working on building an adventure trailer and thought I had it all planned out. Until I came across your video. LOL So many new ideas! Thank you for the epoxy info!
Thankyou! I learned some new things here that I will use not just in building a hard top tent... I'm going to do mine little different because I don't want it on a rooftop rather on a frame or ground. Not sure yet plus I need mine bigger.
Magic job there mate
Really enjoying your videos, great job explaining everything thoroughly while keeping it simple. I’m a roof top tenter myself, however not home made. This is an excellent way to save some big bucks!
Patrick your videos are simply outstanding! Thank you very much. Many content creators could learn from you!!.
I appreciate all the great details man! good job! I feel like I want to try this now after watching what you have done. Thanks.
Amazing work! I'm going to check the whole series! Thanks!
It is a handmade wonderful roof tent.😄👍👍👍💯
I watched all the production videos.
Amigo, Não entendo inglês, mas a construção desta barraca é fantástica!!! RODRIGO DO BRASIL RIO DE JANEIRO.
Nice job, light and water proof, stay in Italy a company make the same job exactly like you from decades they call "maggiolina" tent make from outdoor camping. 👍
Fantastic job
looks great, makes me want to do it. thanks
Great build.
Loving the birdsong in the background of your narratives!
Talcum powder costs less than wood flour and works great, but the resulting fillet takes forever to sand (hard as rock). Don't forget wax paper is your friend when working with epoxy, for masking and smoothing rough spots before the epoxy goes off. Smooth rough spots by laying wax paper over the area to be smoothed and roll or rub on top of the wax paper, moving the epoxy underneath.
Wood "flour" is free from any floor installer. Saw dust from a floor sander.....
These videos are awesome! I can’t wait to start this build in a few years.
thanks for the vids...although i'm not sure i'll ever build a rooftop tent...it's nice to learn how to, in case i ever want to
You are the only channel to cover such a build and I subscribed just so i can get the updates on this build can see many uses for this technic including a permanent lean too for a remote campsite . Thank you fir this build and looking forward to the finishing touches
Exactly the way I learned how to reinforce a wood construction. Good work!
Nice insiration ang great metods sir.... Some day do it your metods....have nice day sir from Indonesia🙏
Wow looks awesome.
Absolutely spot on Patrick! I’m loving this rooftop series so far. Excellent camera presence and so informative! Looking forward to many more!
I really love these how to videos. Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.
I really enjoyed this which gives me great idea on my wooden camper shell. I look forward to your other videos. Thanks
self closing shed doors. Genius
Interesting! Found this video before the rest so I'm going to go through them all. Just wish I would have found out about this before I sold my my '83 Coleman Royale. This would have solved a bunch of issues. Thanks! Build on!
PS: you peaked my interest with your canoe! 😁😁😁
19 minutes? it was like a 3 min video...wow! Keep with that job, it looks awesome! I am looking to take a roof box like a model, obviously doing the tent bigger but with the same shape... Have a good day!!
Nice work, looking forward to seeing more videos.
It’s coming together man looks awesome
I never thought I would like a rooftop camper until I watched your video.
Props to you man. I know how much time and effort something like this takes. It’s going to be awesome when complete I am sure
Great JOB, thanks for doing this
These creations are inspired brother. I’m on the market for my first car currently and I am going to build something similar prior to vehicle purchase. Keep up the great work, god bless. Love from AUS.
Great job!...thanks for sharing!
Well Done! Excellent!
Totally fabbo in every direction..😁pip pips and carryon
Great series of videos. I’m thinking of maybe try to build myself a tent for my JKU. Keep up the good work.
Wow ! I was looking to buy a rooftop tent for my samurai but man they are so expensive ! Your video instantly catched my attention ! Thats awesome work, i think i'll try to make mine this summer ! Thanks a lot for the idea / inspiration / techniques :)
Hey I’m super stoked you making these very awesome videos! I started fabricating racks for roof tents and wanted to build my own tents and this is so motivating! Thank you for doing these !
GRT vid! The volume was good (I could hear and understand you). You showed enough of the build to make it interesting, thanks.
Really enjoy the build videos can’t wait for the next one. Truly makes me want to try the built. But I’m sure it’s not as easy as you make it look !
Great job ma dude! Learned new tricks.
Great Job - Keep the good work👍
Looking forward to see more
