Fairing #1

So tonight I started fairing. Very gently for a start. I took a few swipes along one of the chines with the power plane before swapping to a hand plane.

I could have taken a lot more with the power plane but wanted to practice fairing with the hand plane.

At this stage I find the process quite therapeutic but I'm sure after a few more hours at it that will wear off.

I have sort of jumped the gun a bit, I still have one lamination of sheer left to fit but couldn't resist.

I also dropped my #6 plane tonight and broke the handle. Very angry with myself over that. I have glued the handle back together and I don't think any other damage has occurred.

Starting to slip on my schedule but not much I can do about that.
