Another little update.
I had been awaiting the delivery of some wooden cubes to support the base. Today they have arrived:
I carried out some trial positioning of the cubes. Having them on skewers in pairs made it easier to handle them but I doubt they will stay there:
This layout of cubes is almost the one I have decided on although since taking this photo I have added a single one on the right hand side:
Before working on the two large sections, I decided to glue cubes on the small centre section on it's own. That way if it didn't work out correctly then I wouldn't have wasted a lot of time and glue:
After glueing, I turned the small section up the right way and put a heavy book on it. The supports worked perfectly and allow a bit of flexing on an uneven surface. In view of this I have decided that additional battens won't be needed:
Hopefully, the rest of the cubes will be glued to the larger base sections by the time of my next update.
That is all for now
