SEABIRD´86
	BUILDING STEP 11
	Main sheer moldings & windows. The main sheer moldings are made from 4 oak wood battens each, scarfed together.
	The line for the moldings is given in the plans, but first I had to cut the hols for the windows. Maybe I will cover the window edges with thin hardwood battens. The glas will be screwed from inside in a bed of sealant
	For the window in bulkhead "A" I have made a frame from teak wood, sitting inside the plywood. (I've found 3 teak planks, 30cm x 6cm x 2m on the bulky waste in the street last year, a stroke of luck!)
	The window construction will be as simple as possible. I hope it will do the job stisfactory.
