Love your work Kingy! Keep it coming. Why didn't you just glass/glue the chain plates in?
Have every intention of keeping it comming

I did Karps chain plate that way and it was lots of stuffing around, the plate on Shy is old school so the 'ring' at the top was going to leave a big gap in the deck to have to fill later.
so the choice was straight forward really and largely based on time and available bits on hand.
Yar, & this ere post be done without a sin'le drop o' rum passin' me lips
