Well, here we go again.
I had said to the boss some time ago I would like to build a fishing boat but it had to look right and needed to be crafted with some flair in the build, well that is what I said.
A kind gentleman on this site, and I am sure there are many sold me this Robbe St Germain kit and although old, we reckon 1950's, it was complete. Plank on frame
lots of lovely wood all in good condition and a complete fittings kit.
I bought an electric fret saw some years ago and am I glad I did, it has never been used in ernest but it will be now all of the frames and ply hull parts varying from 8mm down to 4mm have to be cut out as they are only marked on the ply sheets. A steady hand will be needed
I have made the boat stand as per instructions and have cut out the 3 parts which make up the keel this in 8mm ply. The instructions which seem good continue to refer to instructions other than the drawing and I have parts 1.1 to 1.10 which form a jig, cannot for the life of me see what the devil they are for or how they are to be used.
Has anybody out there made one of these and willing to sort me out so early in the build. I am attaching a few photo's just to get it all started as I propose to detail the complete build.
If anyone can help I would be grateful, thanks Chris G
