This week Simon and me managed to cut the front portholes! We have welded in the steel inserts ready for mounting the bronze fittings but I think it will be a while before we are ready for the finishing touches, here are some videos of the cutting operation.
I am using a plasma cutter which is a great tool, it takes quite a bit of setting up though, in the next video you can see how well it cuts the 8mm marine grade steel
OK once the high tec stuff is finished we apply the art of gentle persuasion, WITH A BIG HAMMER
Tomorow we will be working on the aft cabin portholes and the escape hatches.
