Finally I have begun construction on the Brand Bar. The work schedule is high if I am to meet the 30/3/07 deadline. Apart from a couple of print outs and pictures, all the plans are in my head. Foolish? maybe. But so far so good, and precision is not the goal here, but obtaining some character that will hopefully grow with time.

So it is 20/3/07, and the bar is nearing the end of stage 1.
I have been busy sanding, and am anxiously awaiting the final step of staining the little beauty.
Staining has begun!
And with the deadline here....the bar is in operation!
