Bottom battens finished, sheer faired

Had a pretty progressive weekend. Permanently attached the last two bottom battens yesterday. Today I took to the front of the battens with the plane to fair them into the stem.

Also scarfed another 3 battens for the sides, got 1 to go.

Lastly took to the sheers with the power plan today. I thought fairing the sheers was going to take a couple of days worth of effort, but it only took about 2 hours. They are now looking pretty enough to notch the battens into. Everything is going to get a final fair once all the battens are fitted.

My brother loaned me his crawler which folds up into a small stool on wheels. This was absolutely brilliant as I could push myself along and make big sweeping passes with the plane.
