Hi Barry
Thanks for your comments. Yes, I'm there with you on your build. Very interesting. I'm watching and learning, but don't feel qualified to comment on someone else's work.
It's great to get your teeth into something so challenging as boats, isn't it ?. How is your instruction manual ? Mine is so basic as to deny belief. Every route is one of research and figuring out. I'm getting the hang of it now, after all the practice I've had. You wouldn't believe the money I've spent on products and spare parts. I've also gone the route of power tools, as I do like a straight line.
I could probably build a scratch build just with the bits alone.
I run my workshop like my previous business stores !! All parts categorised and boxed ready for use.
Today is paint time for the crane, and while that's drying, I shall have a go a tapering the mast. (with a lathe !)
Mark. Come on over for your Xmas pressie.
