This is the wood that I am using to build my boat, Hydrotech and occume,

                                          

here is what I am trying to accomplish

    

Progress of s/v "Lady G" 

{Here is where the pain begins}      Scarfing...

 

 

Ok this is gonna be a boat?

Lofting:

 

It's not so bad once you get started.   

 (At least up to this point anyway)

  

                                                                                                      

 Hmmmmm starting to see the shape of the keel.

                                 First Cut (finally)

I hope this is what its suposed to look like.

                                                                                  

Just a little more                                             glue and screw and we got keel 

                                                      

Ok heres all the keel pieces ready to assemble.

And heres a keel!!!   (looks like the loch ness monster)

Now on to cutting all my panels while this thing sets up

         Here I lofted my floor pannels 

                                                                      

And then cut them out here...

(Notice the divit on my mid starboard sheet reeeeaaheheeealy nice!!!)

 I hope epoxy will fix this mess up!

OK,  I've been buisy drawing out my bulkheads, and deck I've begun to cut out  my bulkheads i could only get two cut out tonight as i ran out of light.  here they are first the forward bulk head...

 

 

And then the transom...

 

      Thats all for tonight as I am out of light more tomorow evening.

Ok it's tomorow evening and I have been true to my word, As you can see I have cut out my bulkheads step by step.  

 

 

Ok now on to lofting my decks.  (should be interesting).

    

Today I cut out my side decks and lofted my foredecks, I also got my lumber to build the trolly that I am going to build the boat on I got the idea from Ken St John, easy and efficiant I like it.

Heres my decks I completed today, more to come tomorow.

I will be building the trolly tomorow as well as cutting out the two fore decks, and maybe go 3-D, Maybe not but i am a bit closer.

 Ok it's Sunday afternoon and  I'm about as 3-D as I am gonna get today, I built my trolly I kept the wheels off of it for now, I put the Keel on the trolly myself, I had to drag the Keel around the house on a tarp as to not destroy it, (not too light) and I  realised I  have some work to do to the keel yet, just little things but I am going to address them before I go any further.

 Here is what I got done for today....

                        I got my deck fully cut out ...

                                                            

 

and I got my building trolly (minus the wheels for now) built...

and another one...

th,th.th.th.thats all folks....

 

Ya know, I look at this thing and think what my poor neighbors must think of all this...

"My god Martha our neighbors a terrorist, he has a scud launcher in his backyard"
