Deere-est Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 WOW!! They look boody good Marcus. You have made them look very simple to make but very effective to the eye. Fairplay, the kids are gonna love them, no shadow of a doubt there. Lucky little buggers!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJB1 Posted November 29, 2005 Author Share Posted November 29, 2005 i may yet have to put something in the corners to give it a bit of strength as i'm not planning to put them on a base. unfortunately this is the only thickness i've got so maynot be as strong as i'd like but only time will tell. If these work out ok then i might start some of my own rather than use theirs ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If these work out ok then i might start some of my own rather than use theirs ! I used a bit of "Quadrant" in the ones I built for fp jnr. They are free standing and still intact, some are about 8 years old now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJB1 Posted November 29, 2005 Author Share Posted November 29, 2005 mark them out and run it through a saw like yours Mark? ??? ??? just got a lolly stick to get the spacings then used a saw . I have used this method before when making sheds from left over laminate flooring & it looked ok but i had a band saw then so this was a bit more time consuming. go down b+q and get some 6ish mm triangle and put them in the corners should do the trick tempted to get some at focus this morning but at ?6.75p for a six ft length it was a bit too pricey,so will use some 15x15mm from the leftovers from the consevatory it ain't going to look pretty but i doubt the kids will notice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
