Get your vitamin D fix

It was one of those days, the temp was cool, but the sun was bright and full of joy. The kinda day that when you're working in the shop you wish you were in the sun. So.....I moved the shop out into the sun.
On the docket for today was building cabinetry around the electrical system so that passengers don't feel like they might get electrocuted if they touch the wrong thing.

So I pulled Fillmore out into the sunshine and felt the cool air and the warm sun on my face at the same time.
Once the panels were boxed in I resorted to my fall back technique of cardboard templates
I was just getting to the transfer stage when jeff came to me with a 'project'
Due to the nature of the angles, we decided to try a prototype in Styrofoam first

Then we moved on to the cutting in metal square tube!


While I let the boy play with electricity and molten metal......I moved on to wood again.

Although it took a little back and forth, eventually the cardboard template was transferred to the 1/2" G1S plywood
Obviously not the final look , but its looking better....
And speaking of looking good, Jeff's table was a smashing success!
