Three weekends in - 4 oak bands installed.Same as the original.
In 2 groups of 2 - did not like the lamination on the first 2 outer bands - lateral slip - but they stayed true to the steel frame, so leaving them as a template with the intention of replacing them when the inner bands have set.
Not using the aluminium frame (cover) as it is too easily distorted.
Posted some pics, when you do not have enough hands.
Having a template makes cutting each new strip to size easier & staggering overlapping the joints for strength .
Working amongst vineyards & not a cooper within co- ee ......

Yours in passing,
Camkram.
