Another Vardo build

[stonykill]

Completed stage 1 yesterday.



Stage 2 is converting this free pile of lumber into usable boards. This is only some of the pile. I had already started denailing and working the boards when I took this pic. The 4 x 6's are going to be used in a different project.



After a few hours of work I have a good start on it. Still a lot to do.



Yup, my shop is a disaster. Always is

Hauled everything home with my trusty low budget S10

Nice old Powermatic work horse ate that up no problem, eh?

[stonykill]

that and my 20 inch Grizzly planer. You can see the pile of planer shavings in the one pic.

The old powermatic saw was a great find. Swapped repairing a rototiller for it.

[stonykill]

made some progress today.







you can see the corbels I made on the trailer


LOOK! an extra frame . With all of the extra wood I have I may have to build a teardrop as well

[stonykill]

today's progress.





corbels on and the "foundation" done. Tapered front and rear wall started. Glued up the wood for the bows. They aren't pictured. Tomorrow I make the front and rear bow and start framing the side walls.

[stonykill]

not sure anyone cares.... but here is today's progress.

One side wall framed.



and 2 of the 3 arches made and installed.



I heard peeping and a Mama talking to what sounded like newly hatched babies. And yup... 13 new Sumatra chicks and one angry Mama

I really like this! Nice work.

Vardo looks good. Yes, we care. We may not always comment, but we look.

Chickies are adorable.

This is a great site but it is a shame people don't comment more as it is very disheartening otherwise.

Looking good there. I used a lot of second-hand timber on mine too, except mine came from broken up shipping pallets so not quite as nice as yours. I am interested in the corbels - will watch with interest to see what you do with those.

[stonykill]

thanks guys! Comments are nice. Views mean nothing without a few comments now and then.

Yup, my shop is a disaster. Always is

Welcome to the club!
Mine is only tidy for a few minutes or overnight at most!
Keep up the great work!

Greetings

got more done today. Forgot to take pictures. Finished framing the front/door wall/opening and made the rest of the pieces to finish up framing the front/tongue wall. Gonna cook dinner now so I started a little fire

[KCStudly]

Yum. Those are some great looking chops!

I think sometimes people have a hard time commenting if they don't understand the big picture, where you are headed.

Your work is nice and tidy.

thanks! Not only is a completed Vardo my profile pic but there is a link to a build of one in my sig. So I don't think anyone should have a problem seeing the big picture

The Vardo is looking good. The dinner looks great.

Keep up the good work.
