Attached the hinges to the sternpost today. That was only my second time. While I still found it quite difficult, the end result was much better looking than my first ship.
My tiny drill bits kept breaking... I went through 10 of them while trying to get the nails installed. Several times, the broken drill bit broke off below the surface of the hinge, requiring me to remove it to extract the bit. One of the hinges broke while doing this but I was able to glue it back with the break undetectable.
