Billings boat's HMS Bounty.

The planking is nicely done Peter.:thumb2:

Reminds me of a Spanish jolly boat I built a while ago, very time-consuming but when finished very rewarding.:smiling:
 
Whhhaaaaattttt???, laser cut, keel already built, whatever happened to boat building, where is the smell of glue boiling on the stove, the smell of wood shavings....
This is looking very good Peter, are you pinning the plank or are those pins just holding, and did you have to steam the planks first?? I could be seriously tempted into a build like this, well impressed.
Cheers, Mike

Pins are just for holding and the planks only need a quick soak in water as they are very forgiving.
