| Roof, front |
 |
| Roof, open back |
 |
| Roof, interior. Wiring & precut rafters would be added by kit-builder. |
 |
| Removing rod that locks finger joints at ridge of roof... |
 |
| Pulling finger joints apart after complete removal of rod... |
 |
| Separate roof parts: Front, back & rod. Now the parts can be easily decorated, stored flat or mailed! Also the structure is very lightweight - meaning less postage. |
I found that the finger joints were rather difficult to separate - had to sand each one. I don't want to do that again, LOL.
New concept that I will next apply to the walls & future roofs:
 |
| The green color coded section is the open back frame, blue = sides & red = front... |
 |
| Because of the new tapered finger design the front & back posts easily pull part without binding. |
...On the Verge of a Nervous Breakthrough...
