  16. Hi denis,been at the hospital with wife (getting better slowly), catching up on your blog, as usual a first class (bravo)effort, hard to beat them All Blacks(rugby),have not started mine as yet, mulling over color etc,want to do a good job. Another interesting aspect of researching members blogs is what tools,work benches are being used,ie lego, clothes pegs,clamps, various adhesives ,and so on,a great learning tool in itself. keep up the good work .Ed
  17. hi philo,A good attitude is part of learning ,keep it up. would like to suggest putting the planking pins into the bulkheads rather than the planks,using the collar of the pin to hold the plank down to dry, it would prevent cracking and you would not have to fill holes. Ed
