Thanx John.

The workshop is nice and spacious :D plenty of room for everything. Just gets a bit hot in there! But have a camping freezer hooked up to keep the drinks cold and close by! :P

Wouter - what he said - nice clean work. If I may, i would like to pass on what others have demonstrated on this forum and what I learned the hard way - neat, clean work pays off huge. I am not a patient man and when I have rushed and not taken the extra time to slow down and produce neat tidy work, it has cost me in material, re-work effort, etc. Nothing worse then grinding and sanding sh*&^t when you dont have to....

Cheers, Happy Birthday Queen Victoria!

What they said, very clean and good work. A little extra time spent working clean saves hours of grinding and sanding later.

Thanx Mark and CL,

Yeah, agreed! It's worth spending the extra time to prepare properly. I had all the fg pieces pre cut and to the correct size. Laid them down on a table in order of use. Also pre measured the resin/hardener in cups ala CL style. (that's been a great tip I picked up from his forum) Also stocked up on enough rollers so I wouldn't run out!

Although it was a long day, it was a very pleasurable one too! Just love seeing a plan come together!

Away on a work trip for the next two weeks, then on to the stringers.
