Welcome


Welcome.

I created this blog to document the sights of our boating season
for our family and friends to follow.

Enjoy the tour.

This winter project is progressing oh so slowly.  Every little step has been filled with issues while I try to figure out how to attach the frame to the sides.  Maybe I'll have this thing done in time for my estate sale.

I needed to mill a tongue and groove joint in the frame pieces for assembly and to accept dust panels.  I picked up some feather boards to help with that cut.

I should have bought a set of those years ago.  It made keeping the stock pinned against the fence a cinch.  I needed a consistent groove so it was important to keep the stock in position through the cut.

The tongues were cut on the ends of the cross frame supports.

And I have the frame set up to the end panel.  Just need to figure out how to fasten all this together.  The intention is to use dowels.  I'll give it a try and see how it works out on the first frame assembly

A road trip is on the schedule for next week, followed by a little off season boating.
