  2. Nice progress Rich, you will be fine. As Sjors say, making the frames now, before planking might be a good idea. Should make it easier tho get them square. Have a nice fishing trip, and get a lot of fish Børge

  6. Rainy day today We were at at dogshow today, it was wet.... spendt some time in the shipyard this evening, was inspired of Augies new Cannons.. Figured i would try to make one in Brass, i got to fine tune the turning steel for this kind of job i was a bit rough finish, but its possible Børge
  7. Hi Augie Those cannons looks sweet, a very nice upgrade compared to the suplied fitings. Wish they could supply kits with better quality metal fittings. But its probably to expensive Børge
  8. Have you tried to use some more powefull viceclamps to apply pressure, and add a counter piece to the other side, could help stopping it going back to the bent formation
