michael mott Posted January 9, 2019 Share #336 Posted January 9, 2019 4 hours ago, paulsutcliffe said: Its three degrees in the garage Ah a cosy temp for a January day in Canada, time to get the shorts out.😀 I can sympathize when I used to heat my old shop with wood it was brutal in the winter. I am happy now that I have proper heat. Tell me why the deconstruction on the starboard side? apologies if I missed an earlier explanation.

paulsutcliffe Posted January 9, 2019 Author Share #337 Posted January 9, 2019 (edited) Hi Michael, no problem thanks for looking in, I had major problems on the starboard with the windows and fitting the gallery, After some help from Druxey, Ed and others at the time I managed to fix it, I had made the top and bottom shelves the same size but not taken into account the taffrell I have had to trim down the top piece to match the bottom to ensure the windows are the same size and slope.

paulsutcliffe Posted January 31, 2019 Author Share #353 Posted January 31, 2019 (edited) 🤣🤣thankyou Mark's and to everyone for the likes Two costs of sanding sealer, false rails fitted, seats of ease to do Question- normally there are two more seats at the back corners, however these aren't shown in the aots Diana and when I measured up they would be directly under the chase ports above which are an addition on my profile plan, would they have been omitted from this position because of the guns above??
