"See Dear,another piece in BB`s jigsaw?"
A double sided wattle fence that took a while to figure out how best to go about it. The size is spot on.Several of these will skirt around the buildings and therefore blend in.
I just finished applying an overall of white glue and i will fill the cavity later with paper topped off with stone stuck well into glue. The base will be dressed with more sand and stone. Then when all is dried hard and staying put,it will be undercoated in dark brown all over,and dry brushed later.
Grass and weedy plants will finish of both the top and base.
The actual work seems simple enough to do,but above is Plan C. With the sticks stuck good and hard into holes I proceeded to wattle weave one side only and not go round and around the piece. With the first side finished i worked a weave wattle on the other side. Then taking a length of wire i worked it through each end in an under and over rough tough affair,that finished the entire wiring to my liking.
Plan A, worked well as a single sided fence.
However i needed depth and more to the point more height.
Plan B, started well but working both sides at the same time cause to much of a pulling in for the sticks,then this in turn caused the base to splinter into halves.
So i am very glad Plan C,worked out well in the end.
There will be several fences within the palisade walls of the village.
Many could use solid wood and nails to do a good job,
but i wanted to wonder down my own amusing pathway.
An entertaining stroll of self learning new things.to pass on.
The 24 A Frames,are all cut out,and stuck together to make eight solid supports! So each will be scribed out and painted before sticking them into the roof.
Placing the casting on top of the A Frame reveals...
... that one will be able to view a peep right through the windows of the intended building once made complete. Allowance for an upper floor to be installed was also calculated way back in January.So time being what it is finally the Roof will be this weeks intended hobby work.
See You later.BB
