More progress

Continuing on continues on on the ongoing saga of the Correct Craft project boat. This week I actually went to a lumber yard and bought a 50 dollar piece of zebra wood that I shaved down and laid down on the deck (see picture). Some day this boat might even be finished!...knock on mahogony.

More progress

It's amazing what can happen when you have a head of steam and don't get sidetracked at the local bar.....laid down more planks. One bad thing though, the band saw blade snapped, gonna have to get a new one, what a bummer.

At long last, work continues on the Correct Craft!

Overcoming inertia, ...bigtime inertia, the kind of inertia that makes it seem that doing anything is a waste of time. Anyway, i suited up in my best work clothes and planed down some planks man! Not only that but glued down the first two courses of the bow decking! Hey!, if I ain't on a roll, then grits ain't groceries!

Back from Scotts Flat Lake

Had a real good time, the weather and lake water were ideal....campin' and boatin', that's what it's all about isn't it?

Gettin' er ready!

Been scrapin' and sandin' down the worn out varnish, then putting on some refresher coats of varnish gettin' the boat ready for this weekends trip to a place called scotts flat lake near Grass valley, CA . I have never been there before but hear it's a real good lake for campin' 'n boatin'....lookin' f'ward toit!

I spent this past week patching the bottom and varnishing the chines. It's done now and I can resume boating although I will be going out of town for a week and where I'm going there's no boating to be.
