Bernie Harberts sent me a note about his new project and I wanted to share it with you. Go here to visit some of his previous projects. I’ll turn it over to Bernie and let him give you the details.
I ordered a set of the Sonoma Shanty plans back in July, bought a 26′ flatbed trailer, and, well, that’s where I swerved from the plan, ditched angles in favor of curves, and began my Shell House construction. I’m a few weeks away from wrapping up this project but thought I’d send you some construction shots.
Some project thoughts.
Curved lines have sheltered me in my adventures for over a decade. I spent 5 years sailing my steel cutter “Sea Bird” alone around the world, living in a floating home of curved hull and cambered deck house. Then came a 13-month stint living in a tipi while traveling from Atlantic Ocean to Pacific Ocean by mule. Followed by another 13 month trek from Canada to Mexico in a tiny wagon (I sent you short a piece on this earlier). All these homes featured round lines.
