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!!

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 ! :)

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.

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.

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 ;):)
