Very useful, many thanks, what is a Dahn buoy?

A pole with a bladder about halfway up, flag at the top and a weight at the bottom to make it float upright.
Used to mark the ends of fleets of pots or lines in the case of fishermen or anything else that needed to be marked. Seine net fishermen used one to mark the "ship end" of the anchor gear. Used in the Navy for all sorts so its not just a fishing term. End of a fleet of herring nets was called the "pole end". The poles on the cobbles at Flamborough are carrying what could be termed "dahn buoys" although they would probably have their own term. Just a marker buoy really.

Great modelling and educational at the same time, loving it!!! That explains why the fishermen keep pinching the bamboo poles we use when bird ringing, to make those dahn buoys

[zak]

The intention was to make a building/ storage shed for the fishermen to keep their bits and do a bit of fettling when the weather was too poor to venture out to sea, but this looks too posh.
It may have to be saved for something else, but I will finish it, so Coble landing may be on hold for a short time.
I envisaged a chalk building with brick at the corners and so on.

Looking good though.

I agree,
Zak, did you use to work for 'Wimpy', you seem to be too good at this building lark.

No, but I used to go in Wimpy Bars in my youth.

Looking good as ever.

I am in the process of trying to build a "Haddock" style shed, more in keeping with the fishing angle.
This will be wooden with a corrugated, rusty roof and tar streaked boards.
I have another project in mind for the "posh" shed.

[MSea]

Now that looks more in keeping with the position it will be placed - looking forward to the RUST - hohohoho

[zak]

Started rusting, more work still needed.

[cph64]

Looking good, I like things that look beaten and weathered (no comments about Tracy please, lol!!!).

[Haddock]

Looking good, the posh one could be a lifeboat house. Be liberal with the tar.
