First baseboard under construction in the workshop

Made a start on the first of four baseboards.
 
This one is 6' 6" long by 18" wide.
The extra section on the end is "35 inches by 18".

Constructed of 3" x 1" (nominal) planed softwood, butt jointed and screwed together using 2" x  No 8 screws.
The top will be made from 3/8" plywood, screwed to the frame using 1" x No 6 screws.


No glue used in this construction as it is not really necessary, and also I fully expect to be making changes to the baseboards as the layout develops.
