    Nice one Fred.. Your ahead of me.. And following with much interest, as the Service launch was finished and passed , now her bottom has been wet, anyway back to the TID, when the Weather starts to cool down, and i can make it to the shed will reassess the situation regarding the TID. Have a motor in mind rudder and prop shaft should be in a box somewhere within the walls.. lol.. ATB Muddy

Two deck or not two deck

Hi
Just a quick update, the answer is four parts to make one deck, the new deck is now in, just need to do a bit of sanding

Rub or not to Rub that is the question

Hi
Just a quick update on TID 1, I have fixed all the deck parts, and as my woodworking is Cxxp I have had to use some wood filler around the deck edge, so I am now sanding it down, I do so hope that I can get back to working on the wheekhousing again soon.

    Hi Fred,

    I bought a rough TID tug just before the Covid lock-down.

    Nothing was worth saving, except - it had a really good glass fibre hull, so I stripped everything out of it and scratch -built everything again onto the hull using plastic card.(my first time using plastic card).

    Seeing your progress here reminded me of a very enjoyable build.

    Bob,
