cut to the core!

A day's worth of wing cutting at Simon's gaff. It's a bit parky so
fast work makes for warm hands....


bed head Paul pretends he knows what he's doing; someone
should inform him it ain't so cool to be no jive turkey this close to Christmas!




we're set up and cleared for cutting




templates for a 4 metre plus scalie




the ingenuity of an Englishman in his shed




let the cutting begin; in the subzero conditions it takes the hotwire
about 2 weeks to get up to temperature




 it's a serious business!





voila!




a wing is born!




let's celebrate with a little heat to the hands...




and a load more to the toilet area!
