Tigersteve Posted February 20 Author #121 Posted February 20 (edited) I redid the metal rings around the gratings because they were loose and drilled the mast holes. Finally, the bulkhead template install is in progress. It’s not as easy as I thought. It took a couple of glue sessions to secure the first template. I’m making some supports so I can clamp down the next template properly.

Tigersteve Posted Wednesday at 08:01 PM Author #123 Posted Wednesday at 08:01 PM (edited) Over a month of fiddling with creating these bow pieces. I used Stuntflyer’s advice of soaking in hot water to create the severe curves. A couple rounds of bending were required. A hairdryer was used as well. Glad to move on from here!
