I’m near the end of issue 18. I found the Build Discussions of the best way to fit Plank 5 very helpful, especially Karl’s advice. I trimmed the bow plank and bevelled the upper edge to fit under the lower edge of plank 4, and it went like a dream. But this has big implications, seeing that I’m using bamboo. Should I bevel the top edges of all planks in the same way from now on? I wonder what others are doing. Grateful for any comments and advice.  cec

Everything seems to have stuck together without any problems. Hope this helps. Regards delboy271155 (Derek) COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"

Right: it's bevelling for me from now on. (Upper edge or lower edge? I'll have to experiment.) Thanks for all the replies.
