  5. This the way I made my hinges on my Xebec. I cut a piece of tube to length. I used soft solder to solder the tube to the strap. One hinge ready for the fixing holes

  9. This is the way I bend my planks. Bending 4x1mm cherry over a home made plank bender. The planks are placed in cold water for about 10 minutes, then taken out of the water and then placed over the hot plank bender and worked to the shape you require. Use the water as frquently as required. Kind Regards mij
