January 2016 sees the start of the research process reviewing all the plans and planning out the build process.
Towards the end of the month we have 50% of the hull complete as a CAD drawing and has been made using the cross sections from the 1901 drawings. Tests are made for the CNC software prior to machining.
Having undertaken several tests and resolved a few minor flaws in the design we now have a estimated cutting time of 9 hours, and thanks to my brother Graham for his time on this project and he will be setting up a camera to make a time laps video of the cutting process (See next post of video)
