Back to work today...we lowered all the new hull plates, cleaned and painted the joints and reassembled them. Every other hole is then bolted tight ready for riveting© © Original submitter. This image may not be reproduced without permission

Dear all I used to work with Mick Cull years ago. I first met him while he was building boats outside Harefield Marina about 1990. He then moved to the cement works at Springwell Lock. He built a boat for Ted the owner and in exchange had use of his workshop and a specially built concrete slab and lean too. I worked with Mick for a few years and we built maybe 4 or 5 boats. I believe he moved to an airfield near Aylesbury to build a wide beam boat. I lost contact with him after this move but would love to hear from him if anyone knows his whereabouts

Its a bit of a patch work at the moment but the plates will all be fully welded and cleaned up to hide the joints. The previous conversion had been cut through as a zig zag to aid with strength. We have patched it so we can then start the new riveted back half© © Original submitter. This image may not be reproduced without permission

we have finally started fitting the 4 new straight hull plates. Each are 9 foot long to match the originals. We have also welded on a 2m section of folded side deck to the original hull plate to help blend in the transition from old to new and to accept the new riveted cabin next year© © Original submitter.

Hi all I have started a gallery of the work My linkand hope to get a website/restoration blog up and running soon. I am adding new details every time I make progress on my Facebook page My link. I must admit I haven't quite got the hang of adding pictures to this forum...I just need a spare evening to have a go. I have written to the owner of the stern and hope to get the chance to measure and photograph it for the new stern Thanks for all your interest

Cheers Tim for posting these...much appreciated. I am unsure how to post a picture to this post but I have started a gallery page of the work done to date on Gorse/Water Lupin if anyone is interested. The boat was in a terrible state when I acquired her having suffered at the hands of a rather zealous DIYer. She was advertised as prepped for restoration which translated as completely ruined and in need of total rebuild

Hi Steve
I hope you are well and its not too cold in Canada! Paul has sent me images of the original stern of Gorse and I have made several trips to survey Mendip but I was hoping you might have images of Admiral during its restoration especially the stern from the inside before the back cabin went in...it would just be a missing jigsaw piece
All the best Toby

Hi Martyn
