I was wondering why i was cutting the planks sometimes, after trying to be so delicate with them.I'd just left it in that position thinking it was the way to use it. I've just reversed the blade,and BING, the lights come on in my head. SIMPLES. Thanks Karl.  Learning all the time at something so simple but overlooked. don't be too hard on yourself max, many have gone the same way and thrown the crimper in the draw never to be seen again, come on lads dust it down and give it another go. k.

Great to look at another Victory taking shape (and colour). It's amazing that you already built 5 Victorys. I sometimes think what I would make different if I had the chance to start all over again with another Victory (it's quite a lot). Best regards, Bernd

hi bernd, I know exactly what you mean, have seen what you have done is truly inspiring, and have inspired many others, including me, I am NOT an expert builder but, I do enjoy building, and am still gaining both skill and knowledge and hope to achieve a level of skill that will satisfy me. many thanks for dropping by. k.
