Arwen's meanderings

Hi everyone and welcome to my dinghy cruising blog about my John Welsford designed 'navigator' named Arwen. Built over three years, Arwen was launched in August 2007. She is a standing lug yawl 14' 6" in length. This blog records our dinghy cruising voyages together around the coastal waters of SW England.
Arwen has an associated YouTube channel so visit www.YouTube.com/c/plymouthwelshboy to find our most recent cruises and click subscribe.
On this blog you will find posts about dinghy cruising locations, accounts of our voyages, maintenance tips and 'How to's' ranging from rigging standing lug sails and building galley boxes to using 'anchor buddies' and creating 'pilotage notes'. I hope you find something that inspires you to get out on the water in your boat. Drop us a comment and happy sailing.
Steve and Arwen

almost finished; the work bench project

Practically finished.
Rather surprisingly, everything lined up with the table and mitre saws being flush with the surface of the work top. Bottom shelves have been fitted and the bargain flooring stuck down on the work top.

Now, big decision, when the outer rails have been sanded should I leave them natural wood or stain them; or even paint them?

In meantime, also managed to fit a small wood vice as well.
