Looking superb Andy, glad to see I'm not the only one to be a little heavy handed, same thing happened to me on one side, the section between the hatch and port gave way... reinforced the other side before I started sanding...  .. It may just be the angle of the photo but your hatch looks a little wide, if memory serves I think the measurement was 18 wide by 20 high.... I may be wrong though..  .. Excellent work...  Regards Alan

Thanks mate, Reassuringly expensive. Hopefully that means they are the business. I can think of many, many times when this will come in very useful, so I will order one. Do you have to buy a transformer as well? That makes it come to £100.

Don't forget that you'll need a 12V Power Supply, the Minitools ones are expensive I use a Proxxon one, it has the same sockets and the variable one is about £20.

This is the Sapele Planking just about complete for my build, that's if my plans do not go awry ('the best laid schemes of Mice and Men'). I now need to wait for Issue 39 for some dims., hopefully only about a week to go. The area of bare wood in the front port is where I have removed the reinforcing for the broken rib and is waiting to be touched up with black paint.
