So... to update on where things have progressed since August.
Part 1 of 3
There was a lot of standing around in dissatisfaction with some of the previous work I had done to the frame and I decided if I didn’t correct/change/improve it now I knew I would regret it. However, with such long term projects there has to be compromise as things are always evolving and I could just end up going around in circles! There was even a moment in October where I was considering completely starting again!
So I decided it would be sensible to work back to front, which started with the rear panelling. It was sloppy, rough and the recess inconsistent.
So starting with pass side it was all chopped out and with some jiggery & spacers I piloted building a frame out of 3x10mm plate...
Then some 1mm sheet and you get the idea...
