Nose to the Grindstone . . .

You know that old saying

"Nose to the grindstone, shoulder to the wheel . . . "

well it gives you a pointy nose and round shoulders!

Thank goodness it's a little cooler.
A full day spent . . you guessed it cutting, welding and grinding.
You have to look closely to see it but quite a bit has been added.






















































Mostly it's angle iron around the bottom edge of each bin area to provide support for a 17mm thick ply board. Usually this board is used for making concrete forms so it has a plastic coating to make it waterproof (to a certain degree, but it will also need it's edges treated with "bondcrete" to seal them) and is reasonably strong.

Hard to see here as it's coloured a dark brown but the end bay has the lower floor sections in to test for fit. They will then need a couple of "reliefs" routed into them to fit over brackets etc.


















So with luck tomorrow that will be finished and the rest of the bin door frames can be started.
