Without the roof, the body will twist and roll, but the roof will strengthen against that twisting and add support to the whole wagon. The series of bows with these lateral slats adds a lot of integrity to the stability of te wagon box. Thanks for coming along,

Everything falls into place when the Hercule Poirot of the wheelwrights finds one hole that does not make sense! One quick check in the pile of rotten remnants and the culprit is identified and eliminated. It is so inspiring to watch you turn back the time and build this shepherds wagon exactly the way it was originally build.

@martindonald7613 5 месяцев назад

You are no doubt taking way more care and using much more precision than the original builders. In a Romany vardo, we would have put the horizontal pieces on the inside. I am curious to see what the covering is going to be, We would have had a layer of chintz fabric on the inside, a layer of thick felt as insulation, followed by the standard green canvas as the outer layer.

@brianmros4844 5 месяцев назад

Hi Dave, and Diane, well that answers my question about the rib over the kitchen cabinet interfering. It sure looked like it was going to hit the cabinet, but I guess it's all going back together as it was. The ribs in place give a great perspective of interior space. I hope that we get to see it in the museum, and I hope that they outfit it with gear. It will be amazing. Thank you for sharing, and have a great weekend.

Your conclusion on the number of bows relative the snowload, really exited me. It perfectly align with the current building code here in Sweden - the further north you build, the bigger the trusses. It´s always 16" apart (60 cm) though.

You don't need advice Dave but i'll make one suggestion. I changed my jeans to a pair of work pants that have removable knee pads. Not only do they protect my knees from harm, they also protect my knees from the cold when I'm on concrete. The pants I got have plenty of convient pockets for all I need to have with me as I work. The only down side with the pockets is it adds twenty pounds to my weight. I don't want to see you injure your knees. I want to see you continue with our wonderful and entertaning videos! I'm pushing 80 years and I still love working.

By any chance, a sheep wagon’s insulated cover contains wool insulation? I know wool resist mold and repels water. Plus it can be felted to any thickness desired.

@huntz3215 5 месяцев назад

Not sure how much time you spent re-clamping bows but perhaps a steel rectangle tube piece could be the clamped jig & slide the bows inside, a small rubber pad for friction perhaps. Planer reminds me of the movie Dumb & Dumber (1994) "the most annoying sound in the world" scene :) Good detective work again on the design of this rig.

You can bet it was tried before. It’s easy to see that wagons were designed to twist and flex, but not break when driven over rough terrain.

@TgWags69 5 месяцев назад

You get to peek inside the mind of the original builder. Instead of thinking mathematically and dividing 12 by half and making six bows. They did a more organic method of dividing into four sections/spaces. Now that you know how they are thinking you can use that thinking to infer how they would space the purlains and other layout mysteries.

@omegaman7456 5 месяцев назад

I have an idea for you. Design and build a wagon that James West, of the TV series, Wild Wild West, would have in his ''arsenal''. The first electric generator was built in 1831, so you could squeeze that in there. When I saw the manure spreader, I thought about electrified wagons. Another idea i thought of, is an ice delivery wagon that has a refrigeration compressor driven off the axle. I noticed in a lot of Hollywood movies, they used the wrong wagons. Something based on a sulky could have been the first EMT service, or mail delivery.

@34base34ball 5 месяцев назад

I saw a wagon replica once and the bow ends 15:02 were under the first and last bow, the canvas fit smoothly on the bow where it was tied down around the front and back.

@tolbaszy8067 5 месяцев назад

I'm certain, given your usual precision of construction, that once you set that first bow you could just make the others the same length and mount them at their stations. Any arc discrepancies could be resolved with a heat gun. Adding the purlins will also tame the errant bow. I would guess your favorite shop tool, next to your hydraulic press, would be that Fay and Egan table saw. Your camera work showing that beast ripping the slats was exceptional! This is a great series! Thanks!
