Thanks Andy, appreciate your comments as always...  .. I lost the plot when I stuck the first cocktail stick into the hull... but as the saying goes... I've started so I'll finish....   Thanks again Regards Alan

Well what can I say except.... Yabba Dabba Doo..... finally finished planking the lower hull and it felt like a marathon job.... .. Still, learning curve has been steep and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.. .. With my first attempt I have to say I am very very pleased with how it has turned out.... .. Tomorrow will make a start on the treenailing and recon I will be at that for another 2 or 3 evenings.... Return of the POTS...maybe!!!! Regards Alan Gandale attached the following image(s):

Lovely work Alan. I know what you mean about the 2nd Planking, seems to take forever, I'm just beginning the second side. But worth taking time over, if you want it to look good. It's so easy to rush it and then suffer having to look at it for evermore, with regret that you didn't give it enough care.
