Some extra wood

Visited my bros and brought back two planks for the keel - one 19x140mm and the other 19x90mm. So, some exciting construction is on the way! Also, still working on the workshop to get it ready for the boat.

On feet

Well, maybe it does not look like much but this is a step - the whole setup is ready to move downstairs on it own feet and as well the frames are ready to be fitted with the keel. Now it is up to me to prepare the shop in the garage and also visit my bro to pick up the wood he has already bought for the petrel.

Tima lapse camera

Dear friends,

I would gladly receive an old, maybe slightly damaged but still working digital camera as a present. What I want to do is a time lpase video for my boat project.

See example below:

CAD

While I am not very much into the physical building at the moment (not much to do in appartment but still too cold to move to garage), I decided to play around with CAD a little bit. This is what I got:

Not really perfect but still one can get an idea of how it looks. I drew the "hard" lines according to plans but the software curved the boat kind of inside of these hard lines. The "reallife" boat will be outside of these hard lines thou basically it will look about the same. Made with DELFTship.

DUST

Tried some sanding (frame nbr4 and transom) on the balcony,
last time I did something like that was ... well long ago,
don't remember much of the tips and tricks,
didn't take that muc - maybe some 10 minutes, but ->

everything on the balcony was in very fine dust,
neighbors crazy about the noise,
part of the bedroom (from which balcony is accessed) was in dust coz a little opening had to be left for cable,
the whole me was in dust, not talkin about tools or parts themselves,
Dany was in dust because he peeked though the glass door and shouted at me the commands thru the little opening for cable.
Phewwww
I NEED THE SHOP FOR THIS!!! No more mess in the apartment.

Sick

Been really sick these days, hopefully tommorow will be able to get smth done with the boat.

Getting tools ready

Now a lot of sanding work will come to get the ribs in a proper shape for planking. So yesterday i bought a new drive belt for my old half-working belt sander and a set of 60 grit sanding discs for my angle grinder for the rough job. Pity i cannot work today coz of a sore throat (angina).
