Andrew's comments as per his apprentice diary:


"Spiling (transferring a curve line to a straight piece of wood)


"Made a bevel"


"Made a template"


"Correct process on how to rivet

  • drilling
  • punching
  • hammering
  • dollying
  • riveting and roving"

"We made 2 pieces of English oak both sides except the two end faces and clamped it to the template blocks of wood."
