HI Lew,
Good to see your progress, well done, Dont worry about flipping the hull bacwards and forwards, to get better welds, after all this is how they were made in the wartime, I have pics showing the hulls in two parts front and rear, and attached to a frame that could be rotated, allowing the welder to sit on the part and weld onto the flat surface, after all when you think of it they were very short of welders and all trades men, it makes sence to make it easier for a person who may not have had much experence in this type of work. keep us posted on your progress and welcome, regards Ron
