Another very cold day but four of us turned up. I had taken delivery of all the remaining handrail fittings so Mike Cook started off drilling the various fixing holes in these and did a great job filing the ones in the stanchions from round to square to take coachbolts to attach them to the stairway stringers in due course. Jim continued with the window sills and got the second one finished. Mike Waring got on with cleaning up the floor latts upstairs ready for painting. After lunch we marked out the first of the decency boards for the canopy ends. This is a rather strange shape to follow the twin curves of the roof and the handrail. Malcolm Johnson is continuing with production of the dash stanchions, the first one is nearly ready and looks good. Due to heavy snowfall we finished early and didn't attempt to laminate another decency board due to the very low temperatures.
