Got the foot rest for the tri-car done. Haven't joined it to the seat yet so the photos show it resting on the foot rest. Tomorrow is a day full of setting the nails in further and puttying the holes then sanding it all.
Still some final fitting and I'll post some photos when it's done.
All in all I'm quite surprised how easy it is to do this. So far the hardest part was getting the pattern for the foot board sides right. Soon as I changed one set of lines to get it right I had to go back and do the rest. Took almost a day to get it done.
Recycled a lot of plywood in this that was going to the dump. Old kitchen cupboard parts. Have to buy another sheet of wiggle wood board to do the second seat but to do the two seats will be about $125 so far. The upholstery will add a bit to the cost.
I cut around the cut outs on the plywood and will use that in this build and others.
The sides are made from 5/8" paper covered sign board called Crezon board. Smooth and water proof.
I wrote all this out on the photos for the folks that just find it cruising the net. I'll start leaving a message how to link up to the forum in the next set of photos.
Click on the photo and it will take you to the photobucket page.
