Big milestone of sorts, on the weekend just gone I completed the re-wiring of my brothers replica MG TF, and as luck would have it he has moved into a new place with a garage and so now has somewhere to put it, so after 18 months my garage is empty and so I now have somewhere to begin assembling the boat.
However I am not quite at that stage yet, I have completed another frame and the stem and breasthook since my last post, but still have 2 more frames to assemble.
I have taken a week off work, mostly to retain my sanity, or what's left of it, and am using as much of the time as I can on boat building, and so I expect to finish the last two frames this week.
Through a friend in the building industry I am getting all the timber for the building form for free, aside from the long piece, all the rest of the form components are less than about 1000mm so he is collecting offcuts that would otherwise go into the skip bin.
So, all I need now is the stringers to take the next couple of leaps forward, but won't have the cash for those until January, but that's not too far away.
