my shed late at night and they are making a mess
for a start they can not read measurements  ,either that or they have short rulers Laughing  Laughing
but here is a picture of what they have achieved so far


to give you some idea of there  size the square brass blocks at the back are 5/8th inch ??? and the oval beams are 2 1/4 inches
it looks like they have left me the job of  finishing each piece  Crying or Very sad  Confused

not metric elves just the plain old common garden variety that still use inches
any way under cover of darkness they have been back
and left me with these

so I thought i would interfer and do a partial temparory assembly

and to give you some idea of size  Question  Question or lack of it
