Below is not just any old cut-out,but one that can change upon a whim.
Well that is what scratch building is all about.
It is? Well, yes yes. I mean it is.
Upon my word, it also has room enough for a dead center swinging hinged doorway if my mind has such a fanciful idea for one. Well it has been such a while since my last posting that i must surely raise an interest here again.
This is actually a facade, that will front a smile or two upon many a double sided bookcase each having eight stretched out shelves, and in this cut out state it eagerly awaits the architrave that will hopefully give it a pleasant lift to the average passing eye.

A sample post stuck strongly into place upon this simple spiralling step. i need a structure that can be handled without being flimsy and prone to break! So although the balustrade has not been fully designed yet i know the main posts of each section will be up to scratch where i am concerned.
i am thinking metal chain and shot gun pellets, but then i don't know.
What!
That's just BB, being BB, for you.
bb, last used those iron balls upon his railway bridge.
Here is a simple cut through base plate with the first anchoring step stuck into place, and with this all glued up with the main pillar pushed into place made for a good strong bounding upright fit.
Over 14,000 loose book props lay sleepy-like in two shoe boxes.
The master plan is to design 20 larger, taller double sided archways to house them all.
A Once Upon A Time, Picture
My own castings i made 6 years ago will stand topside to finish each off to a spiralling success.
OK my friends,
stay active but safe,
and i'll see you on the next one. BB
