The past week has been slow going. Lots of distractions sick baby, runaway dog and Féile Átha Dá Chab. However I did manage to get the keel and stem fabricated, all the frames made and set up ( more on that later). So I suppose I have been getting stuff done. Uh Oh, I feel a Waldorf and Statler moment coming on

Actually now that I think about it I haven’t done that bad. Except for a rather stupid mistake where I checked a dimension three times and got it wrong three times, nice. It’s very easy to turn 784mm into 748mm. I should have stuck to the axiom that if it looks right it is right and the corollary that if it looks wrong it is wrong. Well the new number 9 frame is just dandy. Anyway here’s a photo of progress so far.
