Well, it might not be Wednesday any more in the UK, but it is still Wednesday somewhere!
I've taken things fairly easy the past couple of days, but I have made a start on the log bridges. All the lengths and support posts have been cut. I'm not sure where to start on the assembly though. I think it will be easiest to begin by adding cross-beams to the lengths and then use them to correctly place the uprights at the ends (and in the middle of the longest ones).
I am planning to do proper lashings, so I think I will need a bit more linen thread. The lashings will be "reinforced" with thin superglue or PVA.
In case you are wondering, there will be two 6" bridges, and one each of 8" and 12".
That's going to be a lot of lashing Tamsin, look forward to seeing how these turn out.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with that! Don't make my mistake of trying to hurry the project, let things dry properly! (Sure you will as you are definitely a terrain expert now!)
ReplyDelete@ Dave - it might be a lot, but it should be much easier on the hands than 1:1 scale with sisal rope! :)
ReplyDelete@ Herkybird - thanks! I have no intention of rushing this project. :)
