New Welder

Needless to say, a steel boat needs a bit of welding... ok tons of it.

I came across Hennessey Welding Supplies in Google and rang them.

The boss man was a pleasure to deal with and on Weds October 24th I went to collect it in Cork.

Lovely people to deal with and got a great new welder for the job.

It is more than capable and has a remote wire feeder. The total length from main unit to torch is 9 metres.
This will make life much easier as the inside of the boat will be hard to move around.






Many thanks to Jim and Owen.

Final prep of the Jig site

On Sunday 21st October, we levelled the rest of the ground at the RSJ Jig. Huge thanks to Joe Kelly for arriving in his JCB and doing a great job, The boys really enjoyed the spin in the digger.

Building the RSJ Frame

In August we built the Frame to build the boat on,

Steel supplied locally and built on our own steel deck staging as we havent level ground anywhere.
