Shiny bits


















Peter and I have been working on the Vriendentrouw these last two weeks. Peter finished off and fitted the hatch covers he had made earlier this year, then made a sliding door. I put a sub-floor down in the front end of the hold and put in some framing so that we can finish this part of the interior later this year.
I also had a fight with two brass windows. Though officially fitted by the steel workers a couple of years ago, when I offered them up most of the tapped holes were miles off. Basically the whole job had to be done over, with the added attraction of first welding the crooked holes up and redrilling. Got there in the end though.
