Finally got round to starting work on the Garboard plank.... only problem I encountered was twisting the plank to fit the stern... first two planks split and snapped. Finally got the hang of it by simply taking it easy and with patience.... Taper on the bow proved to be fairly straight forward, used map pins to hold the tapered plank in place along the taper and normal pins into pre-drilled .5mm holes for the rest..... Hopefully finish issue 18 tomorrow....  Happy building all.... Gandale attached the following image(s):

Watch your fingers, I've cut a few shavings off mine, over the years  . It's a great tool, but one of the reasons is that it is truly razor sharp.

Claret. Claret, thanks for the kind comment..... being patient certainly helps and I too am enjoying the planking.... The marks you see have been made by the drill chuck and just for my own piece of mind I have marked the location on the bottom deck on planks.... just gives me a visual reference..... Regards Alan
