Worklist:
Continue to investigate wiring for fiddleyard and extension boards.

Laurence immediately reminded the group that a running session had been mooted the previous week and had brought stock. As having the boards up and the loom installed would aid the wiring investigations, the three main boards were erected on their trestles. This was useful, as they hadn't been adjusted since the Burton show, when they'd been levelled to suit the timber floor there.

The transitions boards were then added, but the junction between boards #3 and #4 wouldn't go together properly. The joint is not fully on the shelf unit and has more flexibility than desired. To cut a long story short, the rest of the day was spent investigating the problem that entailed filing one of the board location pins, then packing some of the hinge joiners and finally removing the hinge joiners and drilling holes for the standard M8 bolts.

It was all a bit disappointing, but we finally had a solid connection. The two hinge joints sitting on the shelving unit are much more stable and will not be replaced for the time being, so someone will still be required to squeeze in there; well done Stephen!


Hopefully, back to productive work next week.
