What I've been doing

Since the weather has been quite bad I thought it was time a caught up on a few projects. The first is a flying bench that was half built and bought from Elsecar show last year. It needed the ends making and the back rest adding.

This next one was a late Christmas present from IP. I have added some extra detail to this one by putting in real rivets in the sole bars and some framing around the doors.

This next one was a serious project. Those who are old enough will remember the very wavey bridge made from plywood, that was removed after it became too bent to let anything pass. So for quite a while the gap has remained with no sides untill now. It is constructed entirely from aluminium sections of various sizes and is pop riveted together. It is by far the largest railway structure in the garden measuring 160cm long and makes quite an impact in the space the old bridge was. Today was the first train over the new bridge with Bertie taking the lead.

Some very nice work there. Can I ask what size rivets you used on the van?
