Thanks JM,
It was only a few days before she was born, I was about to part with my, Sht .22 IV, had a decent offer, but decided to keep hold of it, imagine the face on her if she wants to shoot later on in life and I have to tell her I sold it just before she was born, you can imagine the tears (probably more from me).
Today I machined up all the rest of the timber for the job, and dry fitted the keel. It doesn't look like much has moved but it's been faired inside and out, and it ready for some highbuild primer.
Tomorrow I'll glue the keel together (it's now in 3 pieces), and get it on ASAP.
The gunwhales and inwhales will need to be steam bent, so I'll post some pictures of that setup. Could be interesting if you havn't seen it done... and too easy... it surprises me it's not done more often.
