Well on sunday Trevor asked "if i could mount this board to this fold out tressel , Cut out a little section from this area ,and some wing nut thingie" !!
Well after helping trevor with some bore sighting at the range ,watchng him fumble around with allen keys , made me think on if wing nuts would be good option for him
But after thinking about it i taught i would try and make it fool proof , so here is the frist stages of this project ,and trevor can see whats going on too
well this is board 25mm thick pine ,just starting the rough cutting ,will be filling nail hole's and finish sanding when mounted and complete !
Well the top has been rough shaped !
now instead of just drill through the top and stuffing a coach bolt through ,with wingnuts ,i decided to put a steel insert into the back of the board ,but i did not want it to stick out so i rebated the timber to flush mount the steel insert !
steel is 50mmx6mm strap lay up for markong out the rebate it needs to go in
setting up the router to make the recces , i used a guide to keep these cuts straight
Now square up th corners of the recces and test fit the steel strap ,
Then its to the drill for the hole to secure the plate to the timber , using counter sunk screws , to keep every thing on the table flat !
i cleaned up the steel and painted it , while these where drying , i started making the bolts that will secure the top to the tressel , had some 25 mm hex brass bar ,and had some 8mm stainless rod , so this is the start of the bolts
one more pic to go , steel inserts ready painted and the custom bolts to keep things together
Wil have the board mounted by tomorrow , and should start the feet in the arvo !
any sugestions/input will be helpful
Hey trevor do you want all 4 legs made to be tent pegged down ? or just front ones ?
