As preparation for the wagon course we were instructed to come with a set of rough plans. So the first set of plans were drawn up. During the week of the course we worked on refining our concepts and so composed a more detailed and improved set of plans. Plans version 2.0 drawn up.
Although I had decided on the trailer that I was going to construct the wagon upon prior to attending the workshop, I did not get it delivered until a few weeks later as I needed to add a trailer hitch to my car to be able to tow it home. When I got the trailer home and measured it, it turned out to be four inches longer than it was supposed to be (I had called the manufacturer to check the dimensions prior to ordering). This was not really a problem since it meant I gained some interior space, but it meant that my current plans were now four inches off. Plans redrawn, version the third.
LEARNING CURVE NOTE: Obtain your trailer before beginning to draw up any sort of construction designs.
Since beginning the construction process I have found the plans to be more of a point of departure than an actual architectural design that I can dimension lumber from.
