Woodscraps, aren't they lovely? I think I filled 20 dustbins with these when I was finished.

Clamping the centreboard. I left some space on top, so I can shape the top (where the handgrip goes) later.

I made some pieces of art with left-over epoxy to get some practice.

Shaping the wheel for inside the rudder. This was made with a "holes-drill" and after that filing the room for the line with a hand-file.

I changed the rudder-inside a bit. Originally you had to drill through the mid part of the rudder where the line goes, but I don't have such a long drill, and I can't drill straight without a standard, so I cut out some more spaceand left shorter holes to drill. As an added benefit the rudder got lighter.
