Hi, I am a new member. I have been carrying around an original model (Italian) of the Harvey for 30 years and have just started it. Any help with instructions and technique would be gratefully accepted.
As I also have Parkinsons I expect it will be a length experience.

Welcome Bill. Perhaps start a build log and people can chime in with comments.

Thanks. I will put some photos up. I managed to download someones detailed instructions, I found rubber bands were good for holding the deck in place while gluing but trying to get the tiny copper nails in is difficult.
 
also from my side a warm welcome here on board of our forum
 
I am half way through the planking of the hull and am having serious trouble keeping the planks in place until the glue sets. I find the best way so far is to use dressmaking pins pushed in by a small bolt with a thin hole drilled in it. Does anyone have any better suggestions?
 
From a previous post I did about planking:
They also have some clamps available (pic below) and I have a set, but mostly I use office supply style binder clips and use a piece of wood under it to hold the plank down (also a pic below)
