After a long pause for a holiday down south with family, I'm back! And the work of converting the Kite Wagon has really got underway, not without some tension. After furious work with the tape measure and graph paper, the plan for the interior has been completed and the first section of the woodwork has been done. It's a shaky start since I can't use a spirit level to check my verticals - the van's parked on a slope!! Not all the interior angles are right angles, to add to the fun, so the initial piece - the corner-table over the whippet's crate - had to be put together somewhat by eye, which would probably be a lot easier for a more experienced carpenter but it's there, it's solid and it's done! From here on I'm hoping the speed and quality of my work will improve....
