Full circle

Well here we are again, my faithful readers. The beginning, after the end. Cloud Cap came to a glorious finish, and spawned a complete new site, filled with the spiralling, contorting babble that spills forth after I have been left to my own devices. This blog, however, will continue in a different way from buildingnina. Instead of focusing on one boat, we will instead focus on the current project at hand, and taste testing of the future ahead.

Currently in the shop, SWMBO's Oxford rowing shell is being stubborn and not giving forth any progress. Temps in the 90's are severely hampering all attempts to be done, so each project is completed at a snails pace.

This is the skeg cutout:



Stunning eh? Of course there was a little chisel work afterwards, but Im at the station, so don't expect miracles of photo posting. Hopefully, with any luck, the epoxy inside cured up and is holding the fir 1x in place right at this very instant. That concluded the interior portion of the boat, and Im anxiously awaiting the decks being placed and nailed on.

The bigger matter is that funny little drawing on the right. Im attempting to put together a Pacific City dory. Any information on the boats, plans, photos of the interior or construction, or other info would be greatly appreciated!

That's all, but only for now.
