French Curve overhead trellis project -- Day Three



This is as far as we'll go on this trip. This morning we traced a new rail from the old, screwed and glued it, sanded it, then cut dados (right) for the braces. The framework is done, we need some feet later. Next we'll rip the lattice work from 2x6 material and place it across the rails, like railroad ties, except there will be variations in the lattice that will effect another curve. When will this be done? Not sure. Stay tuned. We catch the 9 a.m. to MSP tomorrow.
