12' Aluminium Skiff Kit

[Hood]

I'm not a fan of furry grey aluminium, it offends my sense of aesthetics.

Tell the truth, you just like a thick coat of paint to hide the welds

 

[Jim Davey]

That and a hefty pass with a 36 grit flapper should make my welds look almost presentable.

 

[Hood]

You should get it anodised

 

[RichardM]

Mirror polished - give you something to do when it's too rough to go out

 

[Hood]

He doesn't need anything to do he has a bleedin' springer spaniel

 

[Jim Davey]

This is true. That dog is a time sponge.

 

[Hood]

ha ha that look says it all, just thinking of where to wreak havoc next

 

[Jim Davey]

His favourite trick is taking items from the house, cushions and slippers mainly, and depositing them in the back garden. Biting a mouthful of long grass from the raised border and bringing it back to the house on the return leg.

That's doggy language for 'another walk please'

 

[Jim Davey]

He's on enforced walk embargo and no off lead running due to a leg injury. He's doing his and everyone else's nut in!

Tire him with mental agility, tricks etc

Aye aye, likely story, you have just told the other half that is the case so you can leave him at home and get peace at work

 

[Jim Davey]

Peace at work is not an option.

Hang on a minute... you've put the point at the wrong end

 

[Jim Davey]

What's your point?

Coming on now will it be fully welded then or stitched and glued/sealed?

 

[Jim Davey]

I could really have used one of those pyramid rollers for that rub-rail. Pulling it round the way I did it was painful.
Just as well I'm only going to do this the once.

Fooly welded.

 

[Woody.v8]

Are you expecting much warpage or do you reckon the shape and sequencing will minimise it?
