Special Thanks and Undying Gratitude to:
|
Vincent and Katherine D'Orleans for designing and building the bows and the supports, donating some hardware, and working very hard in some very crummy weather for no pay. Rachel the Goatwoman for convincing me that it COULD be done, and for flying all the way down to South Carolina in July to do some painting and help construct the bows. She sent many, many resources my way, and was an amazing inspiration. Also, thanks Rae, for the great props for the inside. Santiago Gilliengro for spending an entire weekend getting covered in Rustoleum and then another one painting and assembling wagon parts. Alwyn Feather the Foolish for helping paint, helping build the bedframe (and for putting the handles and the wheels on Silvermist while he was at it! ). Jay of Carolina Aquatic Service {they restore antique wooden boats-(803) 397-0109} for giving tireless, patient and insightful answers to relentless questions about how best to build this thing. Jay saved us from many engineering pitfalls. Also, Jay, thanks for donating the ash boards! Michael from Mike's Specialties for making the custom wagon frame on such short notice. And especially to Jim Shelley for making many hardware store runs, and especially for putting up with all this foolishness. Thanks for indulging me! |
