Sheddie makes chariot for fleas
Andy from the wonderful Workshop shed has made a Flea Chariot in his shed!
This is what he says about it
The idea to make a Victorian Flea Chariot came about due to my interest in Flea Circuses. I wondered if it was possible to make one using simple techniques such as would have been available in the 1800s. Although there were no details of those used in the early days of the flea circus, I had seem some in videos. Hence I based my design on those from Elsie Torp’s Danish flea circus and those seen on the British Pathe Newsreels.

cheers
blimey 6 years where did that go..... :)
i think i spend more time on here in year 1,2,4 and less time since, due to grown up things... apart from sheds...which yes I do give a shit about....
but its our sheddies who do wonderful things like Roman temples and pub sheds and now flea based transport, that makes it all worthwhile
