Where was I?
As this is my first entry in a month, some may wonder where I was. Lightning struck our house about a month ago. No fire, but all of our electronics were toasted. So, no blogging for a while. In addition I was sick that same week so I did not accomplish much boat work anyway. The lack of progress kills your motivation, which makes you want to work even less. This is how projects get dropped in their prime. Anyway, about two weeks ago my parents visited. My dad built a boat when he was younger, (his plans cost $2"back then") so he was excited to help with my project. The progress from those few days has fueled a new building kick. Now if only work would slow down so I have more free time! I will add some pictures when I get a chance, but here is the completed list so far. The CB trunk is square at both ends with frame 4 attached to the forward end. The stem/breasthook assembly is epoxied and shaped to the required angles. (Thanks to my dad for contributing a belt sander to the tool shed.) The transom bevel is cut. I need to attach frame 2 to the aft end of the CB trunk and make the frame 3 spacers (see previous frame 3 mistakes in blog) then I will be ready for the keel to link it all together. Progress!
