It was sad to see it go. But as you say, change is constant. All the best to you as well. 🙂

Thanks for watching. 🙂

Thanks for watching Peter, glad you enjoyed it. Really appreciate your comment. Sunday morning coffee...probably the best time to watch it. 🙂

Thanks for watching. 🙂 Didn't have the horses on hand unfortunately. The under carriage and platform I started with is an original Melbourne Brick Cart, very heavy duty. So when loaded, it would have been pulled by a team of horses, probably 4 or more. Hence, I only built a traditionally inspired Gypsy Wagon, not a real one.

@@mindseyeimaging Thanks Chris, glad you enjoyed it. 🙂

@@RedPathRambler thats one hell of an achievement and talent

Thanks for watching. 🙂 A lot more of that detail in the series episodes, should you feel inclined of course. 🙂

@@nocturnalpete1 Yeah, I coulda done with a few more feet!

@beckyisabell4324 Thank you Becky. 🙂

Thanks for watching. 🙂 Good luck with it! Did the Yukon come with a framed seat that slots into moulded areas ? If so, maybe you can incorporate the boat seat into the frame of the original seat.

@RedPathRambler thank you. Yeah, it does have the molded slots, as you mentioned. I'm definitely going to use the transom plate like you used on your seat.

@@markgreen9225 I'm still using mine after all this time, can't go back after having padding. I did however remake my frame with aluminium tubing to make it lighter, worked a treat.

That's my plan. Except I'll be taking the kayak up river to my hidey hole camp site. 🙂

@faithlinkministries Thank you Jennifer. I'm manifesting, pushing out positive vibes every day for just that. 🙂

@susanhamilton1822 Thanks for watching Susan, glad you enjoyed it. 🙂

Well shucks, my IQ ain't that high. But thanks for watching. 🙂

I admire the old trades, or at least the surviving old trades. I think my wheels were a bit different in that they slid on the axle and then a heavy duty pin dropped into a space preventing them from working their way off. So, no actual wheel nuts on them.

@@shenandoah1322 Thanks for watching. 🙂

@cindyyeager8627 Thanks for watching Cindy. 🙂 The new owners will be setting it up as an air'b&b, so the perfect place to read, nap or knit. 🙂

@TheNot4ever Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it. 🙂

@JoiceScherer Thanks for watching, glad you got some enjoyment out of it. 🙂

Thanks for watching. 🙂

Thanks for watching. 🙂

Thank you Andrew. It's just fun to repurpose things once the ideas start flowing. 🙂

Thanks for watching Colin. Good thing I never claimed to be building a real gypsy caravan. I had a guy in the know come out to identify exactly what kind of cart I had. An original Melbourne brick cart apparently. A 2 ton carriage with a capacity to carry 4 ton. A single horse never pulled this cart. So I was fakin' it from the get go. 🙂..as explained in one of the episodes of the build series. Although I didn't get a chance to weigh the finished product, I estimate I added somewhere between half a ton to a ton of weight. The Volksy pulled it easily...I didn't have a team of horses available unfortunately.

@@RedPathRambler You took that well! Unfortunately I am a bit of a pendant when it comes to the gypsy caravan, it's history and the crafts and materials used to build one, as well as the travelling life of the gypsies of the era which dictated their design. Your method of building certainly produces an attractive result which will be a pleasant place to spend time relaxing. And I shouldn't criticise a man who makes a thing. I would just like to urge people to look at how these things were made in their heyday.

@colinmcmb Well, I took one look (more than one, a few), at the traditional and thought nope, that's beyond my skill set. Of course that didn't quell my creative streak in embarking on the build. I basically built a modern caravan, hidden under a homage to an old way of life. 🙂

I'm sorry, I'd prefer not to say. However, I can say I believe I recovered my costs (even though I'm yet to tally said costs), and only a small portion of the labour value. But I knew I would never recover that labour value considering it was a labour of love building it. 🙂

@@RedPathRambler Got it bud...really nice job i must say...

@@kaywalker4433 Thanks Kay, 'twas a fun (and slightly obsessive) project.

Same here. I've always had that in mind. When I came across the old former brewery cart though, well that totally took over my mind and imagination. Still would like to something with a flat bed truck though.

Thank you Konnie and Stephen. Glad you enjoyed it. 🙂 You know, before the undercarriage, wheels and tray came across my desk via facebook marketplace, I'd always envisioned building something like a G Wagon on the back of a flat bed, based on something similar I saw back in 2006 while driving around the US with my brother. I still haven't ruled out doing it some day.

G'day from Australia! 🙂

Thank you Steve, glad you enjoyed it. 🙂

@bettygentry9672 Thank you Betty. Glad you enjoyed it. 🙂

@marjoriejohnson6535 Yes it's a shame that some elements and methods of lifestyle of times long past don't exist anymore. I guess technically they still do, but so modernised that the 'romanticism ' of those ways is lost. Of course that's not to say life was generally easier in those times, it just wasn't as scrutinised or regulated so much. Try pulling a modern car and caravan up beside a farm now and staying for a few months! There'd be cops, fines etc.!

@@RedPathRambler I would l I ve it if a Gardner pulled in with campers and did my garden...he looked i definitely would feed for the summer...

@cannonsanders Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it. 🙂

Thanks for watching. 🙂

@eschnitger Thanks Eugene. 🙂

It's got Foil board insulation in the floor and ceilings. Not sure how evident that was in this video, but it's prominent in the series videos on my channel. I didn't have much depth with either to play with. I think I used 15mm, possibly 20mm.
