Bridge deck leading edge



This afternoon I completed with help from my son the kerfing of the bridge deck leading edge. We also prepared, that is sanded edges and Z join glue excess, on the top bow chamfer panels inboard of each bow. Then whilst my assistant started the tedious task of clearing the debris from each kerf, I cleaned up the mating edges on each hull.
The kerfing has to be done before the bow chamfer panels are fitted which have to be fitted prior to curving up the bridge deck leading edge.
All this is continuing work started with placing the support.

Part of my Ryobi team, the laminate trimer has a 3mm diameter x 8mm straight shank bit fitted.
