Well firstly thanks for the birthday email and banner on the forum for my 64th birthday!
I a self employed engineering tradesman mainly fabricating in stainless steel. I have over the years done the usual home projects such as decks, retalning walls and internal alterations. Ive done some internal work on my wooden launch which then lead onto the current project. I have nearly completed an Iain Oughtred Auck, a ply clinker dinghy. This is entirely eposy glued with no screws or nails. During this time I bought a 30 year old Zinken Combi 21 which after a rebuild I have found a great help in machining the required timber. Not sure of the next move, but I have an increasing interest in things wooden!
Cheers Paul NZ :U
