georgeT Posted September 1, 2018 Author Share Posted September 1, 2018 What wood have you used and was it cut to size or did you have to do it yourself? We have a lovely old fashioned hardware shop in Hazel Grove who cuts all your wood to the sizes you need, you then screw and glue everything together (or get your mates to do it) the holes in the cross members were cut using a power circle cutter... 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tender Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Hi George, we were at Telford as well yesterday afternoon on our way back from Loughborough Exhibition. We were helping out with exhibiting CQ with its new owner on the Saturday and first thing Sunday. Looked out for you and Andy but must have missed you, it is a big hall so lots of space to hide. Could have spent a kings ransom, but got away with a small fortune. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
