Plane sailing.



It now becomes clear why I needed to suffer all that head scratching and brain ache in the lofting stage. On go the first planks! Of course, because I did do the maths, they can be cut out and bent around the moulds falling exactly along the neatly planed edge of the bottom sheet of the boat....or that is the idea anyway. Actually mine weren't too bad, considering I hadn't quite got the hang of a plane. Not a tool that is called for much with precious metalwork!
