Today was the installation of the Bren spare barrel box. I must say I don’t really enjoy working with wood items. I measured the width of the bottom of the box and cut the blocks of wood to that width but at the top where the hinge is and the rivets that hold the hinge on prevented me from dropping it down into place so I trimmed the sides down until I could get the blocks at the bottom. Then I went to screw them down and I didn’t pre-drill the holes and split the wood so had to take it out, glue it back, let it dry and then re-install but pre drilled the blocks first! In the end it worked out.
The crewlocker was installed yesterday and I must say looks pretty good there!
I’m getting close to completing this carrier. It’s definitely going to need a good sanding down and repainting once I’m done all the fabricating.
