I had made a start on the final section of the unfinished navigation cabinet located in front of the helm inside the saloon, it will also house the entertainment and all electronics on board. One decision we have not made yet is if we will use the plotter screen as our tv/dvd screen. At 15″ […]
The starboard hull furniture construction is almost complete. I say almost because although nearly all of it is made, there are many parts made but not glassed in yet and many part finished jobs that have small jobs needed to finish it all off. All waiting for one task or another, in most cases wiring […]
Following on from the myriad of small jobs started yesterday I pretty much finished the aft bedroom, well not the actual bed area, that still has a couple of cupboard fronts to be glassed in and a shelf, but I have some work inside the front of those 2 before wanting to glass the front […]
Lots of little jobs done on Saturday in order for lots of little jobs to be finished in Sunday. Such things as back filling eges, glassing smaller parts together before the piece goes into place (because glassing these small parts in place might be too difficult to get to) or painting some parts with white […]
After 4 days of do a bit, let it set, do a bit more, let it set, I have finally glued and glassed the pieces into the boat to finish the aft bedroom inboard cupboard, well almost, I have glassed the last top panel in, (not in the pics but it is done) and next […]
One of the frustrating things about making your own furniture and making it up as you go along is that there are so many steps involved that require a wait for parts to set, most of the time it is edge being backfilled that create the wait. And because I am pretty much making it […]
The finishing touch to the cupboards on the outside of the hull in the small room in front of the aft bedroom (it is actually 2 rooms, one is the bed itself, the other in front of the bulkhead is now part of the bedroom by the addiction of a dividing wall and doorway) was […]
Back inside the boat the furniture work continues, although I am back down in a hull again as I want to finish the aft bedroom as that is all that is left to do in the Starboard hull in terms of making furniture (there is still a lot of furniture in this hull to be […]
Usually when I am doing 2 of something that are essentially the same thing I have in the past made both at the same time, and I did that when cutting the materials (foam) for these nose cones because I knew I didn’t have enough to finish both, so I had to cut or nest […]
The boat starts at BH0 as a structure but is designed to have a shaped nose made of foam that is sacrificial, that is, if (and the chances are high in the early days months and years) I hit something hard enough, instead of damaging the integrity of the vessel, I make a mess of […]
