Its been warm, so we have been playing more than working here. Neighbor's kid is in town, so we are being drafted regularly to help out with flagging. Isn't that a shame. Even after all this, there is still progress on the Ox.
OXFORD
She's received half of the splashwell protection, and I used the excess filler to fill the holes from the screws. This will make handy little epoxy nails, hard chunks of epoxy through the deck and into the existing screw holes in the sheer clamps below. Light AND strong...
Closer look, and as of late the clamp collection is getting much larger. this is less than 1/3 of the available clamps. One clamp at a time, every trip to the store...
Also, here is a shot of the bow joint. I had a little seepage when I glued it up initially, and did a pretty lackadaisical (read half-assed) job of cleaning it up. I ground it down with the plane a bit, and a sanding block, then pulled a little filler over it. Should do the trick, the sander will be the taddle tail
Nothing new to report on the dory, its still in the air.
