Title: book and idiocy
Post by: tobyker on March 31, 2012, 08:24:09 pm

Saw an interesting book in the Postscript (remaindered books) catalogue - history of the ship in illuminated manuscripts 11th to 16th centuries, so have ordered one. Then went to glue fore and aft bulkheads on to schooner keelson - damped, glued everything then put fore bulkhead in and whacked it well into its joint. Picked up the other one to fit aft - "that's funny, it says bowsprit fitting"! Hastily upwhacked "fore"  bulkhead and put them back in the right places. Maybe I should take up embroidery.

Been there, bought the T shirt!!! Not nice....mind you I only did it about 4 times before I learned my lesson to check and then double check before gluing.......well until next time anyway %% %% %%
