First order of business is to get the retaining block mounted, and reinforced with dowels. Then I will glue and mill the castor pads.
|
Retaining block are glued in place... |
|
...and the glue bond is reinforced with dowels. |
|
Set up to cut the rabbits for the castor pads... |
|
Rabbits cut, ready for gluing. |
I am gluing the two pieces of wood together, because for a high stress point, a butt joint does not have the required strength. The castor pads will be milled from this combined piece of wood.
|
Wood is drying.... |
|
...and milled to size, will all edges rounded over. |
Now that the retaining blocks are dry, time to apply linseed oil. The finish is used to preserve the wood, and discourage insects.
|
Small frame is done, with the finish drying. |
Now we need to mount the castor pads, and add more reinforcing blocks to the bottom side...
