Recycled organic boat part 12

Just a few more photos, you will notice the timbers have been routed on the edge for more deck beams. The centre line deck beam has been fitted and glued. I spent the rest of the day with a mate and went to the tip and scored some great items, which included a bench grinder and a three horse power robin engine and a cylinder for a bush stove, which I will post about in another post. The new vise glue foams more than the last lot and seams to bind better. cheers Stewart

Recycled organic boat part 11

The planks on the deck have started to be laid. There are gaps in the deck and two planks will be glued to the deck timbers to keep them in line. The rest of the timbers rely on the first two to keep them in line

cheers Stewart
