After getting sidetracked for a few days, this evening I snuck away into the garage to get a little layout work done.

I first cut out the river path in the benchtop with the jig-saw.

Next step will be to add some shorter risers and then re-install the cut-out portion to be the river base.

Then I started adding the supports for the backdrop.  I’m 10″ tall 1×2 supports (cut from a 48″ stick) mounted with 2 “L” brackets.  I added a some wood glue underneath too for a little added grip.
