Review some trees.
Discuss, design and start to make the two 'trestles'.
Geoff had started a wire tree just before Christmas. Over the break, Stephen had found some he had made years before. These were 7mm scale except for one 16mm scale tree (not shown), which was ruled out for Worton Court. The trees will be finished and 'planted' in due course. Geoff's new tree on left, is awaiting its textured coating.

We need two more trestles for the two new boards. The Homebase metal frames don't appear to be available anymore, but it was agreed that something that would take up less storage space would be better. An all-timber traditional frame was discussed. However, single panels rather than 'A' frames would be quicker and easier to build, and take up less space. We found some 'damaged' hardwood planks left over from Geoff's boat-building days. Some cutting down and surface preparation was required. Out came the circular saw to cut to width, followed by the 'thicknesser', to finish the faces.
Some adjustable feet will be purchased and the frames assembled next week.
