ranworthbreeze Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Hello Gary,Thank you for posting your latest pictures.You have got your work cut out for you but with time you should get there in the end.I especially liked the picture of the plank stuck out of the back, it took me back to when I was transporting 12 foot plus hardwood (I know get with the program, but I still tend to work in metric inches) planks home stuck though the sunroof on my old Scorpio I had at the time to make my conservatory and dresser.Good luck with the project and please keep us posted.RegardsAlan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlesprite Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Looking good Gary, I admire the dedication but think I would have given up after the first plank. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary01 Posted August 10, 2013 Author Share Posted August 10, 2013 transom is now fitted and had a layer of thinned varnish will be sanded then another layer of thinned varnish before final sanding and 5 layers of varnish ... planking is also complete midships , 3 small planking jobs left that i can see until we reach deck height . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gary01 Posted September 4, 2013 Author Share Posted September 4, 2013 just a little update as requested , not been to caravelle for nearly a month due to working 11 hour days and most weekends , unfortunately i may not get much done the next few months because i'm out of work from today . would really like a job in a boatyard full or part time if anyone knows of anyone wanting to give me a chance. (or anything else 30 mile radius of watton or loddon area) on a positive note had a nice trip from norwich to hardley mill and back after a picnic bank holiday monday on a hire boat with the gf and 2 friends , it was first time for all 3 of them and there hooked .. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
