Ive been at work 92 of the last 120 hrs (thats 5 days for the web design folks), so progress has ground to a halt on the Oxford. Add a saturday party with 100 guests on the horizon, and we keep pretty busy around here.
Oxford
As she stands today:
Our friend the Oxford has a welded and faired skeg today, as well as the decks assembled and the rough fairing done. You can see that we opted for the screw-only program, relying on the epoxy to do the work and save 3 lbs of silicon bronze annular ring nails. Anything for a pound. It was quick work that I had been dreading, but SWMBO made an appearance in the shop and did a smashing job of helping get the decks on the boat. Two people is definitely the key for this project, no question there. Screws had to be very close together to hold the decks in a fair alignment with no hooeys. Have about a pound of drywall screws on hand for this step.
Check out the camber:
Im impressed. John Harris over at CLC did a nice job of making a sheet boat look like more than a box. Very nice indeed.
Its going to hit 95+ this week. Plans are to stay in the water as much as possible, with little work sessions morning and evening. You, my faithful reader, will be abreast of the situation as changes happen.
