Peter:
I am so glad you are back, I thought something had happened to you, as I had not seen a message from you in a while. It felt like a little light had gone out of my life. ( I actually mean this - I am not flaming you).
I have fixed the pictures on the web site and annotated them. I have been wrestling with the HTML code for an hour and now have to go teach class. It is the best I could do with PHOTOSHOP CS to generate the web files.
This pram is so simple that one does not need to steam the ribs, one less task to learn. I forgot to mention that I epoxy glued the transoms to the keel plank. I sprung in a 0ne inch keel and I reckon that it needs more than 4 bronze screws to hold its shape. That piece of timber holds a wicked force, the times I let it return to its natural shape as I finished it - it would return to a dead staight length. I was very careful bending and unbending that timber.
Andy - Could you please send me a picture of your rove punch or better a sketch.
