scuttle trim and fit

 

A bit of restful R&R in the workshop today,
after a late night finishing some writing for a meeting tomorrow.

Trimmed and fitted my top scuttle. It is getting there.

It is bound to get lots of comment.







The back of the scuttle will be trimmed to look just like the back of the rear one, then will be trimmed with beading for marginal safety, mainly against cut fingers (or necks!)
