Hi cash,
I am glad the surgery went well.
As for Bench time don't rush to do something it is important you heal.
The only downfall now that you have had the surgery is you no longer have the excuse for any modelling cockups LOL!!

Nice work Mike.
Will you be disguising this section as something to match that excellent decking ?
The electrician in photo 6 looks a bit clueless LOL!

Hi Graham,
Good to see an update on the Kayak.
She is looking better each time I see her.
Getting that ribbon in position could not of been easy due to the tight and restricted space.
It would be interesting to know how much you had to put in the swear jar or did you have a swear bucket LOL!!

Hi HH,
Heating the Epoxy glue with a hair drier makes the Epoxy go soft, then as the other guys have said grip, twist,pull.

Hi Stephen,
Another slight problem that I have discovered this morning.
I have been trying to look back on a post so I could read the entire log but when it says 'loading more'
It loads the next bit larger than the page.
See attached screen shot.
The log in question is Build Log H.Sw.M.S Visby by Rowen.

Hi Stephen,
Could I put in a request that you reinstate the 'comment' tab at the bottom of the posts again, As it was much easer to keep track of what was going on.
I know you still have it on some of the sections.
