BoatMadman's - 1915 steam drifter build
boatmadman:
And now we approach the easy(?) part of the planking, cutting and shaping to fill the holes!
Cant wait for the next part...filling and sanding and filling and sanding.......
boatmadman:
Hi all,
Some more progress, I have finished the planking, need to attack with the orbital sander now.
I have also steamed the boiler for the first time tonight, had a few leaks around fittings to start with, but soon sorted those out, got it to 50 psi!

Hi All,
Had a good day with the orbital sander and P38 filler.
As you can see, I have also rough cut and fitted the stern blocks from balsa, overseen by my own little gremlin! I dropped a peice of sand paper.... she was off into the garden with it..never did see it again ???

Ever had a day when nothing goes right? Its been that day for me >:( - been trying to make rudder fittings - solder in wrong places - melted brass! I gave up and had a beer, try again tomorrow!
boatmadman:
Given up on the brass fittings for now, got the stern more or less shaped out now. Lots more sanding next!
