Drawings/production Real drawings are now in exsistnace (rather than a model) We have had round 1 where Ian and I have commented on some features. We are now waiting for a second iteration. We are concentrating on the ‘bridge ‘ structure first and the associated walls. The cantilever we will tackle second. The plan is to construct 4 bridge structures but all the wall positions. There will be no prototypes just the 4 items that we will alter as appropreate. No fancy finishes for these ‘prototype’ items Waiting for the Ok to buy the bought in items such as dowels and bearings 7
