These pics and designs have been taken/drawn over a few months (said it would be slow).
This is the design of the boards and how they will all connect up:
As you can see there will be 6 boards, the scenic side will be 8' by 18" with the run round and fiddle yard a bit bigger. I have built just the 2 scenic boards so far and will not build the rest until I have figured out where to store all the boards.
First few cuts, using a slotting blade called a stacked dado in my table saw to rip out an exact 9mm half depth slot for the boards to slot together for maximum strength. You can do this with a router and a 9mm cutter as well.
Then painted them and topped with B&Q cork tiles
Did a bit more painting on the backscene (a bit early but I had some match pots and fancied a go.
Thanks for looking
