Construction of the building jig commenced on 1st July 2006. Plywood, epoxy resin, fillers and all the other building materials were supplied by Dave Giddings at Drive Marine Services® in Sydney (02 9533 5470) on the 9th July. I can recommend Dave's efficient & friendly service & supply of products for anybody near Sydney. He is a distributor of BoatCraft Pacific® products including the Bote-Cote® epoxy resins. The plans, rowlocks and some books (including John Welsford's book) came from Duck Flat Wooden Boats® in South Australia. The delivery speed was extraordinary - ordered pm on 29th June, arrived early am on the 3oth!
