A bit of a lazy day today (another gloomy and cold weekend) as I only managed to make the wooden trestles. The mini will sit on these whilst it is being stripped of the remaining 'removable' bits, and for the clean-up operation.
The trestles are made from recycled wood (rafters from a demolished bungalow) - I'll let the photos do the talking:
 |
| Here's one of the finished trestles and another one ready for assembly. |
 |
| Then the 6-inch nails and some reclaimed shorter nails. |
 |
| Pre-imbedding the 6-inch nails. |
 |
| Measure twice and 'nail' once. |
|
|
 |
| One side nailed. |
|
 |
| All legs nailed in. |
|  |
| Trestle now standing up but needs more nails to keep the legs in place.
I've weighed it down to make sure the legs are flat on the ground with
no wobble. |
 |
| All done (just needs a lick of paint). |
