Cutting the Centerboard Case Logs went well. The bandsaw coped admirably, those dinky 3 wheel models may not be perfect, but they are better than a Jigsaw. I wandered more than the saw blade, but that's what course sandpaper is for.
The wood for the scaffold had arrived. I have also built a simple water level out of a 5 meter clear plastic tube (ebay), a plastic bottle, and some silicon sealant. Add some soap to the water to reduce the meniscus, and it's more accurate than I'll ever be. Total Cost, a whole lot less than a high end laser level, and perfectly visible in daylight.
I now have everything I need to start assembling the frames.
On the next good weather day, I'll be cutting the scaffold. The verticals will be pointed and simply pounded into the garden. I guess that once I am finished building the boat, I will have to dig and reseed that section of the grass.
This will get all the frames out of the kitchen at last. (Thanks for being so patient Caroline.)
You have NOT been keeping the frames stacked in the kitchen all winter!
ReplyDeleteThey are in against the wall out of the way.
ReplyDeleteI convinced my wife that I could build the boat in out two-car garage and still have space for her car in there... I'm afraid of telling her that would probably not be case.
ReplyDeleteI hope my wife is still as supportive when she seen how much of the back garden gets taken up....
