Well another day at it, well finished at about 2pm.
After drawing around the base and 2 sides, these where cut out with the jigsaw
After repeating the process with the remaining sides you start to amas lots of planks
And scrap
Then all the corresponding planks ate clamped together (or two bases, 4 lower sides and 4 upper sides)
With the original template board facing out the planks can be sand to the line
After lots of sanding
I then repeated the process on the other side, Things begin to look better
And after a little more sanding you end up with some lovely matched symmetrical planks
And more
And the final ones!
Once all the planks are sanded an pair up nicely it is time for "butt joining them together. I laid the planks end to end on the garage floor and butted them together tightly. I then cut strips of glass tape the correct length for the joints
I then painted epoxy over the glass tape and joint until it was wetted out
I then weighted the joints down (withe specialised weights) and left them to dry ( about an hr, I used fast drying resin for this)
I then repeated for the other side and this is where it will stay until tomorrow!
