foam

i finished fitting all the foam in the cabintop and glued it all in place.

yesterday after working on my half ship model, whisch i nearly finished (all that is left is to finish making the keel and the rudder, the hull shape is all done and the backing board is ready. however we havent started resining anything yet.). on a more dissapointing note, there are actually very few people who have finished, or rather are going to finish their half ships model to a reasonable standard (about 5 i think). good enough to be used for making a mould. and then later a moulding (or 'product' as brett likes to call it). I removed all the nails holding the strips down and started sanding and fairing the cabin top (exterior).


yesterday i also removed the nails from the gunwhale coveing that we made last week (today they are glued in).

the cabintop is nearly all faired, and i cut off the strips that were sticking past the companionway bulkhead and sanded them flush to the bulkhead. the other guys are busy getting the combings foam fitted.

richard went to a meeting at 11:30 so we had an early lunch. and he hadnt come back by 1:00 so i decided to do some blogging, since we are not allowed to use the machines.

hopefully we will beable to finish fitting the foam this week so next week we can glass the deck.
if not we willl probably just glass the hull.


we heard news that michael is comming back. it might be usefull having another hand around the workshop.
