Trestle restoration
#9
Just a quick update. I started to test fit the plywood risers for the trestle bents:
   

I have found that about half of the risers were slightly short. I'm gluing popsicle sticks to the tops of the risers as shims to square everything up. After the glue dries I'll trim the sticks flush with the risers. My plan is to glue the risers in with wood glue, I'm not sure if I would need to use screws or nails.
