    At 20 minutes you mentioned not being able to easily fit a board for a template at the roof to wall. I bought an 18" long flexible curve at Hobby Lobby or Michaels to allow me to make things like that. The curve shape will stay as you transfer it to a board. Good work Ken. Dale in Iowa.

    Ken, you never cease to amaze me. The ideas you come up with are amazing. You definitely think outside the box. I love the niches you created in the first tiny home. So much storage space.

  • @tardismole
    @tardismole 22 дня назад +2

    Get it, Kiya, Get it. LOL I recall my relatives steaming the wood to curve it over the roof. The cross beams (each one a single notched piece) were visible from inside, making us think we were inside a whale. I loved that old vardo. I am so looking forward to seeing how you modernise the interior for todays more discerning travellers - and dare I say it, spoilt? A bathroom and a kitchen inside. Never heard the like. :) I hope the people who buy it will not only respect your work, but also the history behind the vardo itself and be honoured to own one.

    Tricky, tricky! Main door to the left and side storage doors are both excellent ideas! Big sigh of relief when the (third hand) clamps came out.

    This is a "different" type of building. You still amaze me. . . . thinking things through. The rubber type roofing sounds like an RV. That will work nicely. Thanks for sharing.

    Good Monday afternoon Ken & Kaiya🐕 .... how is the dynamic duo doing? Looks like a Prairie Schooner .... or are you making one of those next🤣 This is gonna be a very interesting build for sure👍🏻The chicklets are busy over in the coop🐔☺..... nice to hear the barnyard noises. Have a very nice day Ken, Family .... and the pup. ✏📐🔨🪚🪜✌🏻👣

    Watching you build today; I was thinking back to the old movies. The wagons I remember had a large trunk on the back, and a seating area in the front for the person driving the wagon. Maybe an impressionistic trunk and seating area could be used for grey water in the back plus storage, and the seating area could be used for fresh water, propane tank, and storage. Grey water and fresh water dispersed at the ends would help balance the trailer.

    @JulieStCyr-lw4hk 23 дня назад +6

    That roof came together really nicely, Ken! It’s gonna be so fun to watch it takes shape. You could even do the side bins, half drawers half bin, the choices are endless, I do not envy you that!

      Good afternoon. Yes lots of head scratching

  • @jfrodgers7858
    @jfrodgers7858 23 дня назад +2

    Sometimes on the sides, they do a side board (or 2) that folds down. That gives you a shelf. Like an outside workbench or counter top, for cooking, or plucking a chicken. The old Chuck wagons hung pots and pans there. Door flops down to a counter, pans hanging below.
    Could even make a section that is a pass through, like dirty clothes into a basket, in a compartment under the bed, from the inside. Go outside to get the basket. Clean clothes go back in the basket, basket back in the "pass through". No walking down stairs with the basket, no walking up the stairs with the basket. Go inside and put the clothes away.
    (A lot of ambulances do that too. Trash chute on inside that drops into a trash can in the outside compartment.).
    Mike and Sally love it. Go to town, come back, open the side compartment and put in the laundry and groceries. When you go inside then you put it all away. No trips up the stairs carrying stuff, man door not open forever, quick transfer from car to compartment in case it's raining. Yeah they love it.)

    You can see the picture in your mind coming to life. I was concern too, about shaping the material for the roof. But 1/4 inches plywood does the job.

    • @kenskarpentry
      @kenskarpentry  23 дня назад +3

      It makes the roof stronger with it bowed like that.

  • @bryangiffin9695

    Sorry I sounded so rude Ken, i’m a great fan, and have daily watched your channels for years. To elaborate on my tiny homes’ build suggestion, due to your progressive knees issues, etc., I know you’re experienced at this, you design no wheels tiny homes, you build what’s comfortable, let your son and the big guy build whats not easy for you. Benefits: as you age you do more and more brain work and less what’s not comfortable.

    Ken, w have seen others use ratchet straps to slowly bring 1/4 inch plywood down on a curved surface. Also, I have heard that wetting the wood allows it to flex easier.
    I have always liked the Vardo. Waiting to see the further progress. All the best, Hal

    Thanks for showing how you made sure everything was square. Ferocious dog there, Kaiya playing with her toy. Thanks for letting us know the porch has a 2 foot overhang. Wow, really looking like a structure with all the rafters on. Wow, pipe clamps work to bend that roof material. Staggering the joints of the roofing sounds like a good idea. So Lauan is a special type of plywood made with Lauan trees from the South Pacific. Nice spacers to keep the Lauan plywood nicely bent around the roof profile. It looks cool! I've never seen on of these except on old movies. It really looks wonderful! Thanks for this video Ken!

  • @rudyfisher7660
    @rudyfisher7660 23 дня назад +4

    Ken making a suggestion. You don't have to listen to me but right there. Where you gonna put the door fix it to where you can have stairs. That will flip up against your door and clamp. With a chain or something that way you can just undo the chain and flip them down to get up in there, and make sure they're overfare enough that you won't hit your Tong, when you bring them down just a suggestion, I don't know if that would help you or not

    The best plywood to use for curves, is called Wacky Wood or Flex-Ply. The grains are oriented mostly in one direction to maximize flexibility. Looks like your's handled the curve well!

    Wow, Ken. Gettin pretty creative there. Looks like sculpture. I'm tellin ya. I still think about the wall paper. All those nice patterns. I am serious. You want some attention? Laminate some wall paper on this build. Bright Paisley ~. Whatever color scheme. I like the red and gold combo. Or maybe something more muted like a faux brick with the pastel green/magenta. It's all there right on e-bay. Keep the creativity going. All good man! Thanks so much for this. ~~~ New Hampshire.

    @HaroldMalaby 23 дня назад +3

    Ken very interested in this because I built one and so did Brook Whipple on her channel. Mine was built using a two horse trailer so the weight no much of an issue but the exterior remains looking like a horse trailer, until I use the rear "wings" as the extended porch area. As you are aware these can become very ornate leaving lots of opportunity for creative details inside and out. So far I am likeing the shape of yours and sure it will be a fun project to build and for us to watch. Yes the exterior side doors should make it easier to maintain water tightness I hope.

  • @ClimbToGlory10thMntn
    @ClimbToGlory10thMntn 23 дня назад +2

    Very exciting to watch, Ken! Do you already have in mind the exterior colors and siding to be used that would preserve the authentic and old world charm look? If weight wasn’t a concern, one could really go wild with all the wood and iron accoutrements. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing.😊

    Ken, You're in your element! Building on well developed skills that are now intuitive. This is evolving from the previous builds using curves vs. Straight lines. Will there be enough strength for snow loads? How will you reduce that gull wing air lift when moving the finished Vardo? Level and plumb!

    • @kenskarpentry

    Hi Ken , would it be possible to make some wooden wagon wheels and attach them so when / if the Vardo is removed from the trailer it would appear so authentic
    And it would hide whatever it is mounted on.
    I think that would look so amazing.
    I loved the tiny house build , I can see this one will be just as great .

    • @kenskarpentry

    i think if you made the roof 'brackets' (whatever) out of wider stock and put the roof curve into them it would insure that the plywood rood had uniform curves, this could be scribed on the piece by holding it up to the ends. I sure wouldn't want that overhang roof facing into the wind while driving.

  • @richardwhite3711

  • @thedraac1818
    @thedraac1818 23 дня назад +2

    Ken, Love watching your videos. Just wanted to say, I wonder if you could have used a ratchet strap over the top of the roof to pull it down evenly. Just enough tension to get it to conform to the rafters without crushing the structure.

    Ken could you use the same metal roofing you used on garages only horizontal instead of vertical? Just a thought. Mike from Mass.

      I’ve seen that done. Not sure I want to do that

    Simply amazing Sir Ken. Would 2x4 blocks between each roof 2x4 like you did at the corner ends help to add very much strength to the Vardo & aide in inside finish roof? .

    Good morning, Ken. I am with the others, no idea what a Vardo Wagon is, but I am fixing to find out. I just want to know how much extra you had to pay them at the lumber yard to get straight 2 X 4's ? Looks like a fun project. God Bless.
