The M F & W needs a siding or 2 :)

[ngauger]

Well after debating about it for 2 weeks, I finally decided to add a 1 ft X 8 ft section to the layout. This will be just enough room for a siding.

I decided to post it here to maybe help someone else that would like to try this technique.
Add a section to your layout in about 2 hours.....

First, working alone creates it's own problems. Some of them are dispelled by using anything of the correct height to use as a "third Hand"

I used the 2 blue storage containers at the left of this picture. (Times are from the exif info of each pic)

Well - first it's good to screw a length of wood to the side iof the existing layout.
Now, using the helper, you lay the far end of the wood on your helper and align the wood to the top of the existing layout. Use a scrap piece of wood that same thickness as your finished wood you'll be using for the extension. In my case - 1/2" plywood.

   

   

Using a scrap piece of wood gives you the location of where to screw in a screw to mount the first piece of wood for the benchwork.
