Building A Gypsy Wagon, Part 14: FINALLY Our Wagon Is Finished!



FINALLY--AT LAST!!!  Three years and a whole lot of lumber and screws later, our gypsy wagon is finally finished...Special thanks to my talented daughter, Siobhan, for helping me tremendously with the painting, carving, and decorating. 


Many thanks to my husband, Liam, for ripping the 14' two-by-fours for me, and for moving our wagon uphill without too much damage (ha! ha!) to our Travellers' Rest camp site.  (Seriously, don't try to use a tow dolly in order to make a sharper turn with a ledge  wagon.  It raises the front of the wagon so much that the back end tends to drag over high spots--ripping off your toolbox and storage compartments...Sigh. )

 
 Oh well.  I can always rebuild the storage boxes after the holidays are over...




BEST WISHES FOR A MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Just 2 Gypsies,
Grainne and Siobhan
