grendel Posted July 7, 2020 Author Share Posted July 7, 2020 I just have to wait until I finish working for the day to unpack it. To be fair it's only a little one (if you can call 40kg little) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted July 7, 2020 Author Share Posted July 7, 2020 the other trouble with ordering from an engineering supplier (axminster toy shop) is that things tend to come well packed and you need engineering tools to get in. like the hacksaw for the metal banding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grendel Posted July 7, 2020 Author Share Posted July 7, 2020 so the box was unpacked, the handles etc were put on, and then of course it was time to test, so a piece of wood was tested first, then a piece of brass, it certainly seems to work as advertised.

grendel Posted July 9, 2020 Author Share Posted July 9, 2020 time to fix some of the fittings into place, these were drilled and pins were used to locate them, then the first of the roof vents was fitted, this one straddles the joining strip at the front. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grendel Posted July 10, 2020 Author Share Posted July 10, 2020 No, I am good, I have plenty to get what can be done before the wooden boat show finished, as I will be on the broads from the 21st, and have other stuff to get ready for that too, it will mostly be getting the cabin roof fittings fixed down 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
