asymmetric ruffle

This is another t-shirt refashion made in my pre-blogging era: I made it at about the same time of this other ruffle tank top.This one could go in the cute ruffles category, although the asymmetric ruffle and the randomness take some of the cuteness away ;)What did I use? ... a grey basic tank top and ... leftovers. My favorite raw materials ;)Im...

A little more progress

Our plan is that we do a little bit every week. So far, I think weve done something every weekend, but we havent posted after every weekends work, and the work definitely hasnt warranted a picture or video every week. This week is one where pictures, videos and long posts would definitely constitute overkill. Weve started building the construction frame, on which well actually set the boat frame and...

Weighting the Transition Area

After the Next Round of Epoxy Originally uploaded by OzzyC. To help ensure a good bond in the area where we ran out of epoxy, we laid a slightly thicker layer of epoxy, then laid a sheet of plastic over the transition area, laid a piece of plywood over all of that, and weighted it down. From the transition point on, we epoxied as norm...

Panel assembly

2 pages of 3" fiberglass tape are laid across each joint. They are offset by an inch to taper across the panel joint. Plastic is put between layers to keep it from sticking.   The clamps provide a little pressure to keep it all flat.There is a heat lamp hanging above this assembly as it is a little cold in the basement.  I have on hand...

Interior Paint

Finally.  A day with low humidity and no threat of rain.  I put on the interior paint today.  Light Grey, High Gloss from Kirbys.  They make a great paint that is a joy to work with.  I usually put a splash of Penetrol in the paint bucket to help it flow better on warm days.  I also sanded the exterior smooth to prep it...

winter covers

I hope to get a chance to post some photos of this.  but, need some daylight to do so.  The winter cover (blue poly tarp) is not faring well.  The pitch on the top is not sufficient to shed the snow.  Therefore, I have begun the building of a new storage shed for the craft.  This will double as a buiding area when the weather improves.  I am going to put together a Simpson...

Fair ly Short Session

We didnt paint any more this week because we were short of the 220 grit sandpaper needed for topcoats. So we did some more sanding and fairing on the port side. It was okay because we saw an immediate payoff, because there are progressively fewer spots to handle, and each spot is progressively smaller. Were hoping to have her painted and flipped sometime in Decemb...

How To Build Your Own Boat Fast

Boat building has been one of the earliest forms of engineering and hobby as well. Most hobbyists prefer to build themselves a boat rather than buy. Why? Above all other reasons, it is simply because they take glory in calling their craft their own. What about you? Why build your own boat? There can be several reasons why you better opt to build your own boat. First and foremost, you can take pride...

1st steps in building

laying out the plywood involves a few preliminary measurements so that the hull panels can be transferred from the plans to the wood. Measure very carefully, in this case you will see from the photos that a 4X8 sheet is actually a little bigger.  I like using the imperial/metric tape measure as the plans are in feet-eighths-inches, but the math...

The Law of Diminishing Returns

Yes its true... Ive been horribly remiss in my postings lately. A small part of this is because weve been taking a slower pace lately, but mainly because theres really nothing to report.Summer brings about a special set of challenges for our project. Part of the issue is that summertime brings about the opportunity for far more activity. Whether its a chore such as mowing the lawn, a pleasure such...
