It will take longer than you think (most likely a lot longer),  this will be mainly due to...

 

1. Nothing will be straight.

2. Lack of room

3. Nothing will be straight.

I’m sure it will but you can’t knock a guy for trying.

If you haven't got one, get half a decent one.   I got a cheap cordless one and the battery only lasts ten (well not quite) seconds so is next to useless.   I now have a Makita corded one, much better and the cable is very long.   You will find it probably one of the most useful tools in your kit.

I think it's now on the L&L near Shipley.

Great thanks ?

I would be surprised if you make much of an impression fitting out in a month. 

 

Well I have a history in fabrication and woodwork. I’m bit of a handyman so we will see. It does not need to be perfect I can do all the small jobs later on. Just need the essentials.

Take a look at http://www.lancashirelife.co.uk/homes-gardens/interiors/navvies-ark-the-lifeboat-that-brings-luxury-to-lancashire-s-waterways-1-4207373     

??Thanks. I would like to be able to have a chat with them, they did such a good job. I’ve got one month in the yard to make some what a home.

Hello ? 

 

i have just purchased a davit lifeboat to convert into a live aboard. 

 

My first job is to remove all the gear (straps and tanks) and cut out the bulkhead, pictures to come! I may have a few questions when I get stuck over the next few weeks. 

 

 

Any ideas on the easiest way to cut through hard foam??
