Here we're going to build a small gypsy caravan, out of scrap wood as usual. It's something that anyone with a bit of DIY know how can do. Building a gypsy caravan (the old shape) is pretty easy. You can use it as a bird feeder or a nesting box or even just as a garden ornament.
The construction is a little bit fiddly but with a bit of time and patience it can be done quite easily.
I see these types of things for sale in garden centres and other places quite regularly. They're always cheaply made and wouldn't stand the test of time. This on the other hand is very strong and providing it is done right and the proper measures taken to weather proof it it will last a lifetime.
There are plenty of other tutorials on building such things on you tube so I urge you to watch a couple of others.
I would be interested in anyone who would like to see me make other things. Be it jigs or furniture, I open to suggestions. I would appreciate any comments be them good or bad (hopefully good, or at least constructive).
I've been a carpenter for 36 years and hopefully have gained a lot of experience in this genre. Although I'm semi retired I still like to keep active through my builds and video making.
I edited this video using Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 and photoshop CS6 which are my favourite editing programs. I also sometimes use After Effects.
My camcorder only captures in 1080i though I hope to get a new one soon. It'll save me have to convert everything to 1080p. So I filmed this on my android phone, hence the slow focusing, I apologise for that. I have to record sound separately on another device then sync it all up in post. I record everting myself. I also edit it all myself. Sometimes I get a little frustrated with the amount of time it takes to render everything.
