Ruminating this morning on how best to assemble the legs, I went down to Operations to see if I could borrow a framing square from my mate Jason who helped out with the initial cutting-up of plywood last week. We got chatting about it and he suggested a jig to keep things consistent. Fortunately, there was one sheet of plywood left - the one which morphs into a third bed in the caravan. A few screw holes wouldn't hurt it, so with some of the off-cuts from the component manufacture stage, this evening I set about making the jig.
I hoped to get all of the widest leg assemblies done. The jig was so successful, I managed to complete ALL the assemblies, a total of ten, in three widths and two heights!

That's it for now, really need to get some sleep!
