 |
|
My shed has been invaded the last few nights with some elves that can not read plans or they have very small rulers and they have left me with the following
it looks like i have to do the finishing.
to give you some idea of size their mesurements are half the size of the plans ie the square blocks at the back are 5/8th inch and the oval beam is 2 1/4 inch. |

My elves just drink all my Meths and crunch on esbit like they are potato chips....
Are they making double the needed parts or are they laminating the beams?

damn elves can not read plans so made them half size but realized they did not use all the brass available so thought they would double the parts just to give me more work  |
