Up to my ankles in wood chips

I started planing down the hull of the Fraser River Tug Linda. It needs a fair bit of clean up to begin with. A sharp plane is the best tool. Once it's somewhat smooth I'll work on it with a sander.... and before you know it...... Epoxy time!






























Until next time, keep the wind at your back and press on.

The beat goes on....

Work continues here in the snow... I've been working on this prototype hull... just finished the planking and lifted it off the building board.... She's kind of messy, but a little work with a plane, chisel, and sander.... she'll look sweet.





Until next time, keep the wind at your back and press on.
