He did, and it was interesting watching him grasp the understanding of the difference between mm Cm and meters. And the concept of Square

That's great mate. Thanks for sharing. Look out VNX205!
Any chance of some closeups of the joinery?
Did you just screw/ glue or add ribbing?

My guess is no screws or ribs. It looks a bit like stitch and glue construction.

Try this. very satisfying, perhaps not for a child, but good for an adult. I hope to refine the skills good enough to go to Hobart for the wooden boat festival. A long way off, Bob
