Welcome


Welcome.

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

Enjoy the tour.

I talked with my boat service guy this week and the hull painting is supposed to begin this week.  The treatment is to include a barrier coating and VC17 paint.  It should be sweet when it's finished.  Launch is still something like 7 weeks away.  Unless we get some kind of warm up, launch may not occur until 2015.  The transition to spring has been s l o w.  Northern Lake Michigan/Huron is still solid ice from Beaver Island to Cheboygan.

So, I was a dovetailing master this weekend.  Here's a look at the process.  This happened 28 times over the last few days.

Which leaves a bit of a mess on the shop floor.

But the result is a chest full of awesome dovetail joints.

And drawers ready for the final construction and glue up.

I'm making progress.  That's the important note.

To be continued...
