| Dovetailed into position |
 |
| The cratchboard will hinge forward as will the new metal A-frame, allowing us to lower the top plank for low bridges and tunnels |
 |
| Here I've added the centre panel which will hinge inward to form a small table and to allow Glenda to see out when the tugdeck doors to the bedroom are open. |
 |
| The panel looked a bit odd to me, as the two lower planks are wider than the top one. |
 |
| I decided to cut a narrow groove in the two lower boards it will then look like there are five equal planks. |
 |
| Using UV resistant water based yellow dye first, then UV resistant universal stainer mixed with Chinese lacquer |
 |
| Then do the same in red |
 |
| The centre panel with the extra grooves cut in and with a couple of coats of plain lacquer |
 |
| The old rotten softwood cratchboard and the new cratchboard in oak |
