So who is spending lockdown making a PLK Whale Kit?

With the original BKF workshop then added to by Andrew Beattie selling hundreds 
of kits around the world, there will likely be a lot in the sky over the next year.

I am having my first go at making one when it arrives

Iv got two but run of thread to sow them up with. With the perishing lock down its not helping. My normal shops are shut so looking on the tinternet for some.

I'm supposed to be but I've got to many DIY projects to finish first

My kit was delivered 4 days ago but will go in the loft with the other kite gear.
Moved in to a new home requiring renovation on 22nd October then lockdown 10 days later so things taking longer to get organised or not at all as we take the lockdowns serious and upgrading the the home would be nice but is not an emergency. Staying in and keeping safe is more of a priority. So the new workshop will have to wait it's turn.

Like wise Iv had mine for a few weeks now although I have had a look in the box I have resisted pulling it all out as like Strops I have a few DIY jobs that I must finish other wise it will all get left. I watched the Zoom work shop for the whole day it was a bit of a marathon but well worth the watch. Andrew Beattie did a sterling job with lots of support from all over the world with loads of good advice and ideas. The kiting community is a very big worldwide family. I made some new friends. Hope you are all OK and your all trying to stay safe. Regards John N June

Busy as hell with 'other stuff' and intended to start this thread on the whale kit but never got round to it!
Talking of threads, I think used this the thread the last time as it is saved on my Ebay list for reference:

Have two whales currently being built but the flaming designs have been on going since September last year!
