Well, I'm making progress and learning a lot as I go … but two more questions for you guys.
1. The manual says to glue up both sides of the centre board case in one go. Is there a good reason for this, apart from saving time? I'm tempted to glue one side at a time. I know it will take longer but I would have a lot less going on at once in a place where accuracy is paramount. I want a straight keel!
2. I have been looking for a cast iron vessel for the lead melt and pour, to no avail. What other vessels have people used? Is an old saucepan any good?
Many thanks.
