All neat and ready. I reckon the secret to a long, complex build like this is patience and being well organised.

What always puzzles me though Neil, as an OCD tidy and organised modeller, is how others, whose bench looks like a council tip, produce such awesome results. :rolling:

[Bri62]

Decided to do a bit added the beading and rabbit line.

[Jostro65]

Are there any more of these wives available?

[Waspie]

About as rare as a Willy Wonka golden ticket!!

[Bri62]

Decided to fit the keel after sanding the beading and rabbit line to shape. Left to dry over night.

I have rarely seen someone who works in such an organized, well-planned and tidy manner as you.
My utmost respect!

I have rarely seen someone who works in such an organized, well-planned and tidy manner as you.
My utmost respect!

Indeed, something to behold.

Can't help it Jim, the rest of the house is dust free and every time she comes past my door there is a big grunt and sniff. Even when she has to hand me the mail, she will not come in, just throws it in the door when passing....

You can have mine, mouth and all....:smiling5:

[Guest]

That is going to be an impressive size judging by the base you have used to stand it on. Are those standard wall cupboard doors by any chance?

[Jim R]

Looking good Brian. Critical that all this early work is absolutely square to avoid issues later.
