oldypigeonpopper Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 hello, is there no end to your talent mr farrier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grrclark Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 (edited) It is a brilliant result in many ways OF, not only the build of the punt, but more importantly the teaching of the kids different handskills, a practical application of their maths and other schoolwork and also helping them develop the self confidence that comes from a project like this. Very well done. Edited September 19, 2015 by grrclark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old farrier Posted September 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 Another day another undercoat I've used contrasting coulers of paint to try to make it easier for the lads to get the idea of even cover enough paint to build up the layers just enough to cover the last coat Anyway there very proud of the punt 😋👌 And I'm sure it's construction will help them in the future All the best Of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
