A new scenic opportunity 3

The chute

I found a piece of wood about 1/4" square cut into two pieces minus about an inch to give me two pieces so I could build in a hollow break in the timbers.
 1 inch break tacked together on right side with stripwood.
Boards glued across rear of break.

Boards were glued to front and left side of the chute then tiny wedges were cut from them and the holding stripwood was cut away from the break.  The chute was then bent slightly and a holding strip tacked across the back.  Framing pieces were added and then the hopper needed to be built.
A card template was made for the hopper sides and stripwood was glued to it, a wedge shaped rear board was cut and the whole thing glued together
Finished chute
