Karl, sorry to hear that,one thing I learnt on MSW is the support and freindley advice given to me, BUT at no point did anyone say I was doing it wrong, You are doing a damn fine job mate. Your way is not wrong, your ship, your model, do It the way you want to:) always go with freindley advice

Happy Birthday mate  Your ideas/tips are just that 'YOURS' and if people want to try your ways they can AND if they don't, and here's the funny bit, they don't have to!!  I personally find it really interesting what everyone has to say when they give their opinion on how they think it is easier done, but just because they find it easy doesn't mean I will. This forum functions perfectly well with all the experienced builders bringing their own tips/hints to it for us newbies to filter through and pick out the bits we want to try and ignore the bits we don't. It doesn't mean we should disrespect someone cause we don't agree with how you, or someone else, is building "THEIR" own boat.  OOPS sorry got carried away then Keep your ideas coming mate
I wish I were a glow worm,
A glow worm's never glum,
'Cause how can you be grumpy?
When the sun shines out ya bum!!
