I finally started with the Trident kit, so this will be the start of my build log.
I started building the berth 4 days ago.
Let me start this with a little "rant":
As we all probably do, I really hate the laser char on the MDF. It smells bad and with the constantly black fingers you smear the boards and pieces with the black soot. I tried to keep the berth as clean as I could and am planning to completely seal it under a light coat of primer. I just don't want any charred edges left exposed
I will follow Maartens way and seal the notches and parts that come in contact with the cherry wood with shellac.
The plan and the pages with the current work steps are ready:
Cleaning the parts with a brass brush and sanding paper:
Nearly completed berth The top part is ready but not attached yet.
Another small thing is that the markings of the pieces is mixed up on some boards. But building a kit doesn't mean we can switch off our brains, so no big problem...
After having said that I realised I marked the piece CL35 instead of CL53
