LLANDRILLO COLLEGE STUDENTS COME TO HELP
This is today's group of students who worked on Helen II.
This week Ethan, Rory, Kade Kyle,Alex, Joshua, Callum,Lee,Gary,Corey,Scott, Sally and their tutor Fraser will all work on the boat.
We were all pleased to see the energetic work they put in and with the astute direction and leading by example of Fraser, all stayed focused and on task all day. WELL DONE !!!
(They only got their mobile phone fixes during breaks )
Under shipwright Dave's direction, others worked on fairing in the hull and deck.
Wednesday Phil directed caulking practice from his armchair .
They will certainly cut down his workload for the future !!
Whoopee...........
Apprentice Dave continued making frames around the "timber heads" (two chunks of wood sticking up at the bow end )
Once framed, the inside edge will be caulked and sealed with mastic to stop water leaking into the hull.
Well that's what he told me !
My final view today showing the anchor chain guide template which will control the chain and rope at the bow.
Its name escapes me.
