The most beautiful girl in the weld

While i was wrestling unsuccessfully with the fibreglass, Simon cam round from Thomas H to teach Lorna how to weld. They began by cutting down some steel plate that we had in the engine room with the angle grinder


and then moved aboard Thomas H to weld the parts together

to make these rather nifty steps

which hook onto the little brackets on the wall

and make it easier for us to get on and off the front deck. Fantastic!

A bit of wire brushing and a coat of white hammerite and they'll be done.
