Some crappy weather led to some indoor playtime, so I played around with some salvaged wood and glue. I had just received my new pony pipe clamps to, so what better than to bend some wood!
I had an idea that I could laminate all the curves in the caravan to make them stronger, and started building some wooden arches. These are laminated out of scrap pine, and some mahogany decking salvaged from an old boat project. They were milled down to about 1/8" of an inch and glued together in a (roughly cut) jig.
Finished product. Since the template jig was cut using a jigsaw the cut isn't quite vertical so the laminate is a bit twisted. Cutting on a band-saw would be better. I don't have one sadly :(
