Santaigo, frame complete, 100%






good afgternoon everyone, the metal fram is fially complete. here are some images. the telescoping is a bit tight, but its just a matter of bending the members up or down, easy fix. i tried cutting thr wood today, but it was being used and it was going to take a while. Ali is working of the 3" model and will swing by the shop to grind off some welds. As i began to mesure the wood, i realized we did not purchase the horizontal members for the wood frame, these members will be 1" thick x 2" wide x 6' in height. These members will not be butt joints, it is not a strong bond, it will be a rhalf lap joints halfway horizontally on the horizontal members.Once we have the horizontals, is a matter of cuttind and joining the verticals, but before, the 45 degree angle cut will need to be made to create the edges for the french nip. Pictures to come of such details tomorrow afternoon.
