Strongback almost finished.

Back in the tent

So my frames are done and it's time move to stage 2. It feels like a mile stone has been reached.

The timber for it I got from a builders merchant in our town 5 meters long [8x2] 200x50 and some [3×2] 75x50mm and a box of 80mm screws cost £120. Its taken me about 8 hours over two days. Its square and level but the uprights need support.

Before I started putting it together I had to do a bit of space creation that revealed that I'd have a guest during the winter, I found a stash of Acorn shells under a timber sheet I'd layed on the floor for my tablesaw to stand on. A BIG thank you to Amie (my stepdaughter) for helping me move the saw, its a beast and impossible to move singlehanded and we both had some slight damage to our trousers and legs but we got it shifted.

The next job/task is to set up my lasar level at the back of the tent. It will shine a light on the center line and the DWL.
