- his is the first video of this long term project. I am Building a Bow Top Caravan. The idea is for me to use as much home milled lumber as possible. I lucked into a Bunch of Long dead and very dry Elm logs so most of the Build will be done in Elm, however I will aslo use other wood as it is available to me. Enjoy

Fantastic! I'm planning to watch and learn from each session you upload. Keep them coming! Very creative.
Will do.
Thanks for watching.
Nifty project. Looking forward to watching the rest of it.
The trailer was beautiful and festive. Like!
Looking forward to the next clip. Intresting to see how you do it from start to the end. Good luck and have a great week
One of my goals with this one is to show the making of one of these all the way through. lots of Vardo build videos out there but they all seem to skip some major areas of the build. so with any luck I will get a combination of stills and short videos of all the different stages. mind you I am a bit of a novice on this project, but I have built houses and worked in commercial construction as well, plus I have built several trailers, hopefully my combining the two now will work.
Thanks for watching.
I really want to learn the step by step by building a caravan, so i look forward to the next clip. :)
inspirational video, very helpful!
Great I will be fallowing this build. I love to see ppl build instead of buy. Great job so far
Thanks Chris.
thus is a fun one but a lot of work. Milling the wood from tree to dimension takes a bit of time. Now I know why the lumber yard wants so much for it LOL.
Very helpful x
I'm in the planning stages for doing something similar. What is the height of the lower walls (from the deck)? TIA
Hey buddy, it's catching up time, been neglecting my vids lately, it's time to clear out the mailbox ;) How come you have so much time to fabricate and build so many things?? It's like you're working down a list of my childhood dreams :) Man, that will be so nice when finished... Can't wait!
Yuval.
I work for me now. This thing will eventually be sold. I am thinking of actually opening a biz building them custom for people. It's a lot of fun to make, and I am learning so much and having so many ideas I want to try them all but I can't put them all into one caravan. So the answer would be to build more, right?
Man, I'm rooting for you!! if you hit it and become large, I know you'll hire me to work for you ;) ehehehe, man, those can be so beautiful when done right!!
How did he knowhis vehicle could handle the load. I have a 2006 ford f150, i want a caravan to biuld for
How much would one of these cost?
I have a buddy who lives in one full time.. He doesn't believe in cars and uses horses and moves around all the time... He actually has a channel too.. John Gustafson...
Mine will be pulled by 190 horses LOL. I have a GMC Jimmy. I will check out his Channel thanks.
I've watched your saw videos, now this. Do you ever show turning videos anymore? If not,......
Yes, I still do turning videos. However I am trying to diversify as turning is only one aspect of what I do. Since I quit my corporate job and work out of my shop full time now, I wanted to show all aspects of my creativity. But rest assured turning will always be in there. and I do plan to add some turnings to this project as well. Hope that helps thanks for watching. hope ya stick around.
Beautiful materials... all high density... too heavy....
poor choice for this application... lightness is key !
