Well I've been off work for a few weeks due to working time stand down (it's a long story) and I have been busy with other little projects around the house like paving, building drawers and drinking beer ( that's a project isn't it 😁😁😁) and I have not done much boat work............. until today!!!!!!! Enough is enough this boat needs to be built so I got out some ply some glue and some clamps set up the router and went to town.
First I made a jig to clamp to the bulkheads to rout out the slot for the deck beams.
Then I cut the slots in the beam sections. I have decided to use laminated sections as that's way stronger. So tomorrow I will glue them together and then take them off and finish them (sanding and rounding off the bottom edges (epoxy sticks better to round edges than square) and it's a bit softer if you whack into them)
I also cut and glued the blocks to place on the transom and the bow for these deck beams to mount into. To cut the blocks safely on my table saw I knocked up a quick cross cut sled.
Tomorrow I will trim and glue them in place.
All in all a good productive day.
As always thanks for reading and following my progress and please feel free to comment.
Cheers Jay
