Planking



In God, the angle grinder and thickened epoxy we trust. What a hassle getting the chines bevelled to the right angle. Took ages. I thought I might be able to use planes but they hardly fit amongst building frame. So out game the grinder with a coarse sandpaper flapper wheel. Noisy and dusty but got the job done. Not sure if I should be called the 'Butcher of Bagdad' or 'Rangi the Carver'

My old Air Force buddy Jacko came around. I soon had him enlisted in helping me mark out the first plank. "No thousands of an inch tolerances here!" I had to tell him.

Any way here are some pics.
