More woodwork

More good progress today. Finished the carcasses of the benches, and got the right-hand panel dry-installed. Lost the light before the left panel could be finished, so I'll come back to that tomorrow. I've also been planning the cushion layout, which I'll buy the raw materials for tomorrow. Something to do indoors while the light's bad.

The carcass of the bench seat, a frame of 25mm wood.

I'll be glad when all this woodworking is over. I'm not what you'd call a natural carpenter. Oh, but I have to really praise the cheapy mitre block I got at B&Q: good square cuts just where I want them. Can't go wrong with that.

To do: finish the left panel. Prep the mounting points for speakers and lights. Route the cables. Work out the amount of carpet needed for the panels. Get stuck into the electrics. Skin and lid the benches.
