3. Planking with lolly sticks.

Planks from the model shop will cost about £20, thats a lot of pocket money.
So as an experiment I am using lolly sticks. So far it seems to be working.
They are 2 mm thick, this should allow lots of latitude in sanding them to shape.
To get this far has been really cheap, the only cost being the wood glue.


other sizes: small medium large auto

Exzim, the lollys were purchased and eaten over a long period of time by someone very close to me. There is no way I would handle second hand lolly sticks from unknown sources. You never know where those tongues have been.
The early ones are quite a few years old, well seasoned wood.
This is recycling at its finest.
The frames of the boat are from old discarded furniture.
Even the motor is from an old cordless electric drill.
