Boatbuilding - Like baking a bun or a biscuit Phase 18

Study the recipe, get the ingredients together, mix thoroughly and put in the oven (man cave/garage).
Allow to cool and apply a glaze of sugar, egg and dust over (varnish) with a soft brush.
Such is the chaotic appearance of the boat today I must admit it looks neither like a boat, a bun, or a biscuit.
What you see scattered about are electrical items, disassembled bits and pieces, vital parts of hardware and the Honda outboard not yet filled with engine oil or checked over.
Once the job is done and put together I am scheduled to take the lot to Bridger Marine for them to check out my electrics and do the pre-delivery checks on the engine.
So many cables and wires to route and hide from view.
The woodwork is almost done bar the seat backs and cutting the centre slot in the steering-wheel hub that must engage accurately into the Teleflex steering mechanism. The steering wheel itself has bamboo spokes and steam bent laminated outer ring and is my well tested design. Identical to the other one on the Morgan 4/4.
