and if you are asking why am i going to so much trouble to limit the distance from the wall to 300 mm, here is a pic of the boat in the back. it only just fits through the door with a limited space of about 100 mm on either side. i could have cut the whole door out and moved it across by 2...

frames and machines packed away so i can move the boat out to the front ready for a fishing trip

the frames completed in the storage position, the reason i have had to make these frames pack away is because i only have 300 mm space from the wall because the boat gets stored in the back behind the workshop the frames ready for to fit machines machines clipped into place
