Leg No.2 - Horseshoe No.1 - 1.5


Drilled clearance holes in the back pieces of the horseshoe. This will allow the bolt heads to be recessed inside, to clamp the hydraulic in place. 
I cut these bolts tooooo short, so will be using others lol.



Have also done two of the four buttons. [drilled & thread tapped them]



The top 'button' is slightly angled upwards. So i cut a small piece of hardboard & glued it in at the bottom of where the hole would be. I'll then fill in to form the angle. I also marked where the holes are to be drilled for the buttons.


Small piece of wood placed to start my angled face
R2D2 horseshoe

Applied wood filler around the inside of the recess, sanded and repeated......
Also applied wood filler around the outside to start to build up areas.
