RMweb Premium wagonbasher Posted January 31, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 31, 2017 And with the track plan laid on top. IMG_3283.jpg IMG_3284.jpg You can see at the open end once the platform ends the board configuration now allows for the embankment to fall away from the edge the of the track bed - the whole reason this board has been built narrower In the second picture the track bed appears to fall away dramatically at the bottom of the picture. But, I don't know the prototype Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indomitable026 Posted February 4, 2017 Author Share Posted February 4, 2017 Bike ride in the sunshine complete, no cape involved. I've started slowly assembling the frame for back board No 3. First of all a long strip on the back of the board. I find this whole, do a bit, post a bit and relax a bit very enjoyable. It allows me to rest and has the benefit of time for planning the next bit or noticing something I've done wrong... For example I've noticed that I've cut the wood too long, it needed the thickness of the plywood removing because the board ends are inset. Lucky the glue hadn't dried, timber now the correct length. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indomitable026 Posted February 5, 2017 Author Share Posted February 5, 2017 I've started to assemble the board end this afternoon. I've made it slightly over size as I'll have to make an angled cut on the front end. This is to accommodate the angled front to the board. It is only 1 degree off a normal 90 degree cut but you'd be surprised that it makes a difference, if you don't you get an unsightly gap and the surfaces will not be in contact for the glue to do its job. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indomitable026 Posted February 5, 2017 Author Share Posted February 5, 2017 I've cut to size and fitted the board end now. Something's niggling me, I think I've missed something, but I don't know what? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
