Monday, July 5, 2009



Yesterday I was able to spend a couple of hours in the boat shop. I have been caring for my friend, Diana, whom you may have met in the other blogs. I have been redoing the bathroom too. Yesterday I took the afternoon off!
I built the strong back for the new project. I used two pieces of 2x6, 16' long and have them about 30" from the floor.
Next thing was to make a platform upon which to glue together two sheets of marine plywood. The platform is nice and flat, but the sheets have some warping. Nothing to worry about when building the boat, but a nuisance when gluing the panels together. Last thing I had time for was to grind a space for the fiberglass cloth to live. Next thing is to bond a 6" piece of fiberglass bridging those two sheets of plywood.
