Today, we did two jobs on the fly. One was on the computer to organise, sort out and prepare diagrams for the steel bracing support unit, and the other job was to tidy up the workshop and bring in the various steel strips from the shelves outside under cover. The steel had to be sanded to remove the little bit of rust on the top most strip of the pile, so using the orbital sander with lots of emery cloth discs to go up and down each strip to remove as much of the rust as possible.

Tomorrow, we carry on with the preparations and soon will be slicing up these steel strips into the jigsaw pieces to then be welded together.
