Hello all.
Work done today. Roughly finished the after "Slipway" as the Italians call it, not glued up yet as it may need altering when the transom is complete.
Fitted the first of the Mahogany planks with the two chine guide planks and then the first keel layers, did soak the keel ones before gluing just to get them to lay flat.
The other pictures are of my facilities really, I don't have many tools etc. but do have a lovely sanding table which I made many years ago from an old washing machine motor and some left over Formica worktop.
It is 9" diameter and with the 3/4 H.P. induction motor, cannot be stopped no matter how hard you push, just replaced the abrasive with new 80 grit alu oxide.
The other bits are self explanatory, including my Pool Noodle sanding thingy's which are absolutely great, just wrap around the grit of your choice, stick with gaffa tape and you are ready to go.
Hope this thread is not becoming too boring, please say so if it is.
Mike.
