maker Faire OC is this weekend, and Woody will not be complete.. we still plan on going though. In it’s raw state it is easier to see this is a hand built vehicle anyway.

Anyway, to update briefly, tonight the awning was built. The wood used is white oak.

The perimeter is 1.5” tall, and a slight bit over 3/4” deep. The top edge has a rabbet for the bent stringers and a 1/8” dado 0.25” deep for screen spline holding shade cloth. The outside vertical surface has a 0.375x0.125” dado for the programmable light strips.

Top view of rabbet and dado. Rabbet was cut will alternating top bevel combination blade, perhaps I should avoid this!

The side view shows the dado for LED strip, as well as the polypropylene twine used to cinch the frame together. The led dado was made on a router table.
