You should work on the boat everyday…



…even if it is only cutting out two doors!

However I also did the usual walk around the shed (tarp) to confirm survivability for another 24hrs in the wet season “build up” storms.

Such hard work…cutting throught the tabs on balsa Duflex, but it is warm 35 degrees, humid 90% and it is 25mm!!

This 25mm has sure got some weight in it!

Yes, I’ll watch the glass edges!

Look see measuring and marking tools even on a very simple job, no wonder its taken a year!!

Stop taking pictures of my bald spot

I think I will put timber trim, latch and hinges on this, place it back and hopefully have a door into the head.

Has she been in there all this time?

I have just realised the port hull might be a little faster to build as I have:
* already cut out the ply for the keel protection and the large piece of double bias,
* marked out the trimming required on the forward bulkheads,
* have all the tools,
and know in a small way what I am doing.

    Enjoying your reports. Looks like an easy way to build a boat, though a 46 footer is a big job however one cuts it.

    Has Bob a new site, his URL no longer seems to work.

    Cheers

    I agree wholeheartedly on your comment about try to do a bit every day, it encourages me to do the jobs that I have been putting off because I fool myself by saying ” its only a couple of hours then I can go down the pub, read a book or play on the computer” next thing you know is you’ve done a days work. You still must make time to sit back and relax without feeling guilty. Ian
