gypsy type wagon 3

 This shows the end wall being screwed and glued into position. These are tongue and grove cypress pine flooring from an old house.

 The wall has been trimmed to shape.

 The final shaping has been done to this wall

 The stove in its relative position in the wagon.

These are recycled hardwood tongue and grove floor boards from a old dismantled house.

 The main frame is from 20mm square tube and is mig welded the trailer is what is termed as a bulk carry trailer and the tube is just the load. It is cheaper to register than a caravan by 200 dollars a year.

The boys a Bomaderry engineering did a great job straight and true. The type of wagon is called a bow top wagon. As I said before I am not a gypsy so it is not a gypsy wagon unless I sell it to a gypsy.

Equal rights for women and prime ministers?

Equal pay equal work equal abuse! I am a bloke and have been called a sheila whore and a lot of other things and have had to take the abuse. Now parliamentarians are doing the same its about time the law is changed so people can call me a phucken whore or worse. The Australian prime minister Julia Gillard was called a piece of work and wanted an apology. Wake up woman I have been called the same and I don't expect an apology. I have had young women take away my credentials and also my ability to work, You wanted equal rights,      then you must expect the same filth thrown at you the same as men get.
Men don't cry..... equal rights now say....... now women don't cry. Get over it or admit that women will never be an equal to men and do away with equal rights altogether for all Australians.
I respect a person if they show respect, men or women.

Side tracked

Traveling on the road today in search of goodies I physically ran threw a swarm of bees on the highway. Just before the incident there was these black objects coming my way. Then splat splatter splat over fifty bees hit the windscreen of the van. The week before I captured a swarm of bees and coerced them into a hive. I physically pulled the branch they were on sharply and they all fell to the ground and walked up a prelaid runway straight into a hive that I prepared for them. I am now the owner of bees! They are interesting to watch and study. They are good security at the back fence..

gypsy type wagon1

All good wagons that are lived in need a stove for cooking and I have experimented with various degrees of failure;)  I have finally come up with a beauty I called the Gundy stove. Simple to make 120mm x 800mm  the exhaust is 50mm So you can work it out from there. This is the start of a series on making a gypsy type wagon. Not being a gypsy I cannot call it a gypsy wagon.

caravan

I need a caravan so I have started to make one. End walls are up and pictures will follow with sketches used to make it. More will follow.
