Working on a showman's wagon of our own. Hoping to have it looking as close to a traditional vardo as possible when it's finished. Thank you for the inspiration and information!
The workings of a very good video, its really nice to see some one documenting this kind of (Quality) work at last on good quality hd film, as this is a dying art, and needs documenting, don't worry about the sound too, I'm sure you will get that sorted, i worked a little for the late great painter John Pickett when i was a kid, so I've seen a few of these inside and upclose, never did any of the ornate work, mostly the stripping, wood and metal work restoration and undercoating and top coating, but have seen John Picketts great carving and painting up close..and what a fantastic art it is.!. this showman's is in pretty good condition, compared to the state of some showman's I've seen roll into a yard, normally they were in quite a state, but once they rolled back out, it was a different story....looking forward to more videos from you Reuben, cheers Mart.
Look forward to seeing the update. What an amazing bit of history
