toyfarmer Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 excellant work, love the workshop, what did you use for the barbed wire behind the silo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted June 9, 2007 Author Share Posted June 9, 2007 Cheers for the compliments peeps The 'barbed' wire is infact seal wire that you'd find on things like electro hydraulic valves, switches, solenoids etc. Like what is used on automotive fuel pumps but a larger guage.

MDFord Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 Thats coming along nicely Tris, are you going to have room for this and the others when its finished Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted June 16, 2007 Author Share Posted June 16, 2007 wow Tris coming along great guns mate :P are the trusses hard to make Thanks Mark The first took three attempts, a lot of swearing and some binned Plastruct but once you have got one right it's easy. Use the first as a template. I marked out one end of the shed on card with the curve for the roof and used that as a jig and another truss for measurements.
