I built this bridge last week, Between cutting the wood, and using a brad air-nailer, it took all of 5 hours to build. I hope to install it on the addition real soon. I also have a second bridge built since then, but have not taken any photos yet. The second bridge took part of 3 days to build. I also want to take some update photos of the rockwork I now have done
Many, ya just got to love any model that it takes a PICKUP to move it around! If I misplace a facial tissue I completely loose my bitty Shay on the workbench! Is a bridge like this 'removable' for storage, or do you treat the wood, or is your climate so dry you just don't worry about it? I'm from PA, and if you don't move every five minutes in May, something will grow up your legs - mow twice a week. And in July, it's humid enough you go into the greenhouse to escape the heat.... hard to imagine modeling outside.
Randgust: hahah, I put the bridge on the tailgate just to take photos,, The winds that day almost blew it off the tailgate .. The bridge only weighs a few pounds. The wood I used in redwood and cedar, And I don't treat them. I leave my trestles out all year. I'll just have to anchor the bridge real good. I live in the Nevada Desert, Verry dry climate.
