Well my lil vardo was a Winner and is Sold!

Postby Deryk the Pirate » Sun Jun 26, 2011 9:20 pm

Well I entered my lil vardo as my entry in an Artisan Guild Im involved in, as:
3d functional The Vardo
2d/photo- I printed out most of the photo's and build information and had it bound.
Performance- I did a speach about the build. And I ended up winning at the end of the day!

The judges were very impressed that I stressed to the people there that Im not trained as a carpenter, I worked in IT for a number of years, and now Im a custodian in a high school. That building something like this is easily attainable by the average person who has a desire to put in some sweat equity and willing to do some research to learn how other people have built similar things! We live in a wonderful time when so much information is readily out there...all hail the "Internet" lol

An old friend from college came across my build photo's on facebook and made a serious offer a couple of weeks ago and took it home with her today. I get to have some car repairs done and get back to making sawdust!

Build #2 starts next weekend!

Congratulations on the win and the sale!
:thumbsup: :applause:

Now, you can build another and add/change anything you coulda/woulda/shoulda on the first one. (There's always something that a builder wishes he'd done differently.)

Oh! And we get to watch you build it in another build thread! (Pretty please?)

Thanks! Yeah I still feel pretty excited about it all, and glad to start the next build. There was a few things I did that if I could "have a redo" I would lol. So I start makin sawdust next saturday.... the trailer has been assembled and road tested, the bulk of the lumber has been brought down to my friends house to be all ready!

Check my build 2 page for it!

Thanks Again!
