Ali (DaVinci Crafts) NEXT BIG DESIGN:
I’m doing design work for a wooden Caravan. Piers wants to build it in similar fashion to this: The wooden egg boat on the left featured in George Clarks Amazing spaces and gave Piers the idea.

He wants the caravan to look similar to this one on the right which is an airstream.

I’ve been designing the outside side skin for him using CAD program (computer aided Design) and have produced a 3D printed model for him on my 3D printer. The next step is to design the internal structure so he can form the skin for the Caravan. Really pleased with the way it’s turned out and Piers has offered to let me come down to his workshop and give him a hand when he starts building; He’s a talented carpenter so I’ll be learning new woodworking skills at the same time.

Alison Tuck (DaVinci Crafts) has been selected to join the Licensing & Moorings sub group of the Navigation Advisory Group.

The Navigation Advisory Group comprises boaters with a variety of backgrounds to bring as broad a range of perspectives as possible to decision making. Maintaining canal and river navigations for use by boats is at the core of what the Trust does. We want to ensure that our managers’ decisions are well informed by those who navigate the waterways regularly

Last month we mentioned that Da Vinci Crafts won an unusual giraffe themed commission at Stansted airport. That giraffe is now in situ & a 2nd one is being worked on for Manchester airport. Da Vinci Crafts is becoming the giraffe guru of the cut!!
