Rat palace -The wagon




 

 

 

What a project. Just after lockdown we where given a beautiful but aptly named wagon called Rat Palace.

Thinking we would bring it home re-line and clad it we soon found out that we had to completely remake it. We managed to selvedge most of the floor the axel and a couple of windows. It was a beautifully shaped and sized wagon so ............. with many helping hands we replaced, recreated, designed and now have beautiful accommodation -just in time for the Christmas rush.

A lot of the timber was here already and was split out of bigger pieces for the framing, rafters, joinery and jams. So a beautiful wagon and a great opportunity to get creative with natural timbers.
