Just sitting here thinking about stoneage boatbuilding. Take a dugout canoe, then another, then another. Place them side by side. Like this.

UUU

With me so far? The left hand peak is the port gunwhale, the right hand peak is the starboard gunwhale. Join them together ( with mortice and tenon joints) than get rid of the peaks inbetween. Now we have a flat bottom boat. OK maybe I am mad, but gosh it's fun.

Regards Gordon

Yes you are and yes it is!

I'm still struggling with "Don't need a boat to cross a river, use stone support logs and stone fulcrums" but I think I'll try to get my head round it by morning.
I've a horrible feeling it's all going to end up with me thinking the stones got to Stonehenge via Worcester! ;)
