Thanks for joining us @cogs1948. Let me extend a very warm welcome to Workshop. I trust our community members will provide helpful advice and inspiration for this project as well as many others in future. 

In order for members to provide specific advice, it might be good if you provide a little more information about what you are having trouble with and what the post is for. A photo might also assist. 

Many thanks,
