Thanks Col 👍 It's coming along. Unintentional...but I have to say as a budget conscious buy, I'm really liking the saw.

Really liking those clamps at 1501.... Holy Lick.!!! Just what I've been looking for... Thankyou

All is revealed as the videos roll on...kinda like how it revealed itself to me as I went along...such has been my haphazard approach to anything resembling planning 😀

How much would it have cost to have the truss arches made up. I am considering building a Vardo and that is the piece I think I would want someone else to do for me. I'm 61 yr. old female, grew up on farm & been around building a lot in my formative years, but never really did a building project more than making a rough box.But I am pretty crafty and understand math and geometry formulas to decide on cut angles. And well, just have that spirit that does not believe I can not do this. Ha! Aren't I adventurous!!

Great job. What angle did you set the walls at please?

@RedPathRambler

5 degrees. Not sure but I think I read somewhere about that angle as traditional.

bees wax for the saws...

Do you work with blueprints or only with head ?

Just my head. I played around with pen and paper to settle on my length, width and height. Then it's just a process of making things fit the space. Good fun 🙂

@@RedPathRambler very inspiring ! Thank you so much for sharing this !

I am curious about how the nails will do compared to using screws. I know that nails tend to have more shear strength and when toe nailed in they tend not to pull out.

Do you mean nailing or screwing bottom plate into base, or in general overall with the framing?

@@RedPathRambler I see you use the nail gun in several places. I wondered if pull out was a problem with everything flexing going down the road / trail.

@DannyB1954 My ultimate plan was for it not to travel but to be permanently parked as a guest accommodation. But I've also thought about the option of lifting it from the cart base and putting it on a custom trailer so that it could be towed as a traveller. As is, an original farm cart with steel wheels, I don't think it'd be welcomed on today's roads. When I use the nail gun I tend to fire each nail slightly in opposite directions, to create a bit of an opposing force against each other. But there's also a lot of screws in there.

Also, how many man hours would you say it took you to build the bones + floor, as far as you get here on this video?

I didn't get a clear quote for curved beams being made, but it was somewhere between 500 and a thousand dollars each I think from memory, a ridiculous price, and I needed at least 5 or 6. So I was never going to pay that! But that's not to say they couldn't be professionally made cheaper, I only got that one ballpark figure, I just figured I'd have a go myself. I haven't recorded any hours for any given aspect this entire time. It's like I don't do say an average 8 hour day, it's very sporadic. But at a guess...making the curved beams, about 2 days. Installing them along with the mollycroft/skylight structure, maybe 2 days. building and installing the walls, maybe a day. So let's say a week. But as I said, I'm very sporadic with work time. But with what you say, enough adventurist spirit (and exhaustive internet research), you can do anything! Go for it!

👍

build the floor first, ok..
