Yeah! Where did you get them from Brian? Or did you somehow make them?

Yep you make them take the clips from a smaller one and fit them in the wider bit of the clip.

After watching a few YouTube I have decided to plank using more manageable lengths of plank seems a lot easier

Seems simple enough. Thanks Brian.

Very Baldrik!!! Cunning idea or what.
Simple, yet ideal for the job. :thumb2:

[Bri62]

Its a lot easier than he makes believe did all mine in literally 5 mins

[Bri62]

Started the planking again with shorter lengths

[Bri62]

Did a bit this morning the first section laid down, hasn't got to be brilliant as there is another layer of planks but tried to get it as smooth as possible.

Reminds me of the Russel Crow film when the young seaman produced a skeleton of the French adversary, (Acron), they were hunting and the comment reads ship design.
Great detail Bri, Where you going to put the golden rivet then?
