Another good day of progress with a full team.   jim spent the day rubbing down the ventilator strips and edges of the roof and removing excess mastic redy for filling and primer.  Ian finished painting the supension units then carried on with more mastic removal.  paul spent the day routing the steps and got all 12 ready for final trimming to shape.   I spent the morning sanding dwon the rest of the roof and then in the afternoon Jim filled and sanded the remaining screw holes and gave the planks a coat of cuprinol ready for painting next week.  

The canopy ends now look like this

This a a great improvemnet on previous weeks.

Stephen and I spent the afternoon finishing the reinforcement of the old underframe and then trial fitted a suspension unit to it.

This is probably the first new hores tram suspension of this ttype to be assembled for over a century.

It's taken a lot of effort but is worth the effort and fits exactly to the old underframe.  This is a tribute to the late Bernard Donald's measuring and setting out skills.

All i n all a good week.
