This may be what you call a Gypsy Waggon in your country but it is a far cry from the real genuine Gypsy Living Waggon. I am a Gypsy and live in the country where they originated from and are still made and lived in today. The real waggons combine grace, beauty, comfort, practicality and craftsmenship and are of course horse powered. The nearest thing we have to what you describe is a ‘whoopee’ which was designed in the 1960′s to be towed behind a car.

I like the Reading types as well…you can see one that i built a number of years ago on the school’s website (www.ptwoodschool.com)–click on “Gypsy Wagons”. I hope to start building another wagon this summer…it might be a Reading (or Ledge) this time!

The “vardoo” shown is SO BEAUTIFUL from the outside. Any chance of seeing some inside shots?

Or, at least, some idea of what is included on the inside … ?

I like the Reading Wagons more. Any designs for that style?

Jim is planning on sending me photos of a student’s wagon that is almost completed and I should be able to share it as a post sometime in the near future.
