Thanks for this compliment.
I suppose you have a lot of experience on the forum. Do you think it is interesting for the memberswhen I put the 12 remaining completed builds on the forum or do I use too much space? I kept a written log of every one I built and in the mean time I scannen all the photographs from before the digital period, so it is quite easy to put a selection of these photos on Completed Builds.

"space" is never a problem here in SOS, so if you have a documentation of your builds, we are very interested to see them in building logs in this area

Or

Thank you for posting so many pictures of your Elidir build. I have been trying to build the Constructo Elidir for quite some time, but often get discouraged and give up for awhile. I might be working on something above my skill level, but I also think it has a lot to do with poorly translated instructions. I may ask you a question or two as time goes by. I am currently planking down by the keel, which it a bit tricky.
 
There’s a steam launch in one of the boat houses in Portsmouth England. I believe that a member of royalty used it — possibly Queen Victoria. If I had access to my photography (which I don’t right now). I’d send you a couple of photos of it. But if you’ll Google “steam pinnace 199 royal naval dockyard” you’ll see one a bit similar.
 
Better yet Google “steam pinnace Osborne Royal Naval Dockyard”. That’s the one I remembered.
 
this is my first wood build I am having trouble understanding the directions. like how do you get the frames out after glueing and how much glue do you use. I also have 2 pieces of the keel and i believe there should be only 1. Ihave more to ask but will start with this. THANK YOU. Fish with ED My Email is edsgirl10511@gmail.com

This is Fish With Ed. This is my first wood build. Having trouble with instructions. Need some answers on the Elidir. How much glue do I put on the frame when putting on the hull planks since the frame has to be pulled back out? I also have 2 pieces of the keel and I believe I need one. Am I correct?

Well, I'm having a bit of trouble with posting, but I wanted to tell you to avoid gluing to the framing at all. Instead, use brads to temporarily tack the planks to the frames. Use glue ONLY in between planks. Will attach a photo if I can.
