In the neverending quest to set up the PERFECT work space, we have now made a huge advance.
After looking at the cost of scaffolding or a metal designer trestle support, we decided to make trestles to support our recycled rimu door desk.
Darren’s parents came over and the working bee commenced. Luckily Alf (Darren’s dad) had all the tools needed and the wood was recycled from Alf and Irene’s old decking. The only things we had to buy were the varnish (mahogany), nail plates, hinges, dowel and the cord - cost of project was probably around $100, not counting labour or the fish & chips we ended the day with.
The wood was planed down and sanded, the sizes measured and cut, nailed together, hinges added, varnished and… voila! All in a good day’s work.
I’ll add the plans soon but in the meantime you can look at the trestle progress photos on Flickr. The ‘in situ’ photo will have to wait until we have finished the painting of the study.
