Not on a Wednesday this week for various reasons but we did get some work done today. Ian continued with the never ending painting and varnishing. Top coat on the brake rigging and then varnishing seat latts.  Still more to do of the 56 that are needed.  Jim and I spent the day on seats again.  Jim spent most of the day finishing off the seat base on A side and cutting the ends to fit.  It was nice to have something to sit on during coffee breaks.  I started on the back for A side. The first job was to make yet another prototype and check the final fit of the joints.

Here prototype 11 shows what the final result is going to look like.

The back of the short section shows all the countersunk screws. 

The final design was chosen and then later in the afternoon Jim and I started trimming the pre cut frames to fit.  Each will be numbered to ensure that it mates with the corresponding frame on the base and fits snugly.  11 of them down and 4 to go next week. 

One of the resons that we didn't go on Wednesday, apart from the snow, was that we had spent Tuesday as part of an LTHS working party at Crich, painting the bandstand in the new park.  For more info follow this link.
