I’ve moved on to the front panels of the trellis/arbor/large steel Rose structure. (I’ve gotten comments from poeple that insist its not a trellis due to the roof, which makes it an arbor. Contrasting opinions seem to think its not an arbor as it doesnt span a path like a traditional arbor does.) Regardless of terminology, I’ve moved on to the front panels. Which are coming along nicely. They are an intersting puzzle as they should work up faster as they are smaller, but I have to slow a little as I’m making both of them identical. So far they seem to be taking the same amount of time as the roof section. The speed increase that comes with practice and a better saw to rough cut the pieces, is being offset by the need to slow down to double check measurments from piece to piece to make sure they match.  I’m still aiming for a big finish for Christmas, but it may be tight.
These arent the most current photos, but they do show some of the progress on the front panels. I’ll be adding some more updated photos when I’m out there working on them next.
