Building my Vardo


Recommended Posts


Bernd, your English is impeccable. Ich hat Deutsch gelernt wan ich war ein kinder. Ich habe noch einige. :) Apprendí Espańol tambien.

One of my favorite scientists, runners, and writers is named Berndt. Berndt Heinrich. Very similar to your own name.

Have fun with your boat.

I understand the side ways pictures, you likely took them with the camera side ways to get a picture in portrait format instead of landscape.  The upside down ones I don't get at all, took them standing on your head?   :P  Most of us here are adept at viewing from all angles, no big deal. 

 

When you load pictures into the forum it does so as they are formatted in your photo software.  You will need to rotate them there before importing into the forum.  Most camera software has editing functions, and the simplest is rotating pictures.  There should be a symbol appearing near one of the upper corners of the photo while being displayed on your computer.  It looks like most of a circle with an arrow head on one end of the circular line.  Each click will rotate the picture 90° in the direction of this symbol.  You will have to use this function for all photos taken side ways or standing on your head.

 

She looks good, even sideways and upside down.  Good advice on consulting mothers regarding the sewing.  Creativity isn't measured by how much you know, but by how much you can find out when you need it.  The people here are good at both ends of that process

At last, my Vardo hit the water! The coaming works great. I did a mixture of laminated ash veneers and an upper ring of plywood. Glued together with epoxy and for safety reasons, assured it with 20, or so screws. Should last for at least one generation... :-)

The first, who tried the boat was my son, followed by myself and my wife. We hpost-5382-0-05447000-1467412772_thumb.jpgad a great time, playing on the water of the beautiful "Staffelsee".
