Wall details
Equipment overhaul
Workshop
Geoff made a 'set' of piers for his wall, following the pattern of the main wall - American bond for the faces and stretcher bond for the sloping top.
Laurence continued to clean-up and then paint the vertical drill from the workshop.
Stephen cut out and shaped more pieces of 9 mm ply to create the over-door panels and glued them in place. These join the new ends and the 'floating' corner piers. The front wall infill panel was cut to shape and two, curved arch window openings cut and filed to shape. The new end doors were discussed. Sliders were possible and would open the inside up completely, but would have to be formed in two sections due to the limited space on the end wall. Pairs of hinged doors were agreed, although after successfully making an operating roller shutter door for his Gn15 layout, certain group members were keen for at least one end to be treated similarly. Stephen just smiled, 'non-committedly'.
Typical Laurence working photo - note toothbrush and jewellers loupe.
