Slowpoke i550: September 2010
http://slowpokei550.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 28, 2010. So today after work I decided to try and add some weight to my bulb, by pouring between the two halves. I had read on one of the other blogs where they sealed between the two halves with aluminum duct tape, and I figured I could do something like that. Here it is with the sand packed under and around the front half of the bulb. Sorry I didn't get pictures of the actual pour, not enough hands! Saturday, September 18, 2010. I hope I can get this done soon, I am. Monday, Septemb...

Tuesday, February 5, 2013. As you can see, I've been busy! Right now I'm glassing the deck, the cockpit's in, and the cabin top is glassed on. I've realized I have some more filleting and taping to do, but it's on the inside now, taping the bulkheads to the cabin top. It never end it seems! That white spot on the lower right is the famous hollow spot some of us have, I've been filling it with my left over filleting material. February 26, 2014 at 12:05 AM.

Slowpoke i550: April 2012
http://slowpokei550.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 10, 2012. Ok, I'm sorry I've been taking so long, but I finally broke down and borrowed my bosses' work camera so I can show you guys a little of where I'm at. Of course, it would help if I knew how to turn on the flash! Those were taken april 8th. This is where I'm at now. I found out I had marked the center of frame 18 wrong, almost tweaked the nose of the boat the wrong way by 1/2"! After which It'll get its final paint job. Well that's all for now, g'night folks!

Slowpoke i550: October 2012
http://slowpokei550.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 9, 2012. Thought this might be interesting, since I basically am doing this by following the other blogs, and the instructions/plans don't tell you how to. The slot for the keel is made by wrapping some plastic around your keel, then glassing over that to form a keel-shaped tube that will become the keel slot in the bottom of your boat. In the end, it doesn't matter what kind of clamp you use, so long as you can get it off the keel and it slides nicely. Monday, October 8, 2012. All the s...

Slowpoke i550: May 2011
http://slowpokei550.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 22, 2011. So this afternoon I set up the sawhorses, laid out the ply, and grabbed the camera, so I could do a "by the numbers" post on how to scarf plywood, not the easiest way to join plywood, but probably the best. Of course, what I didn't realize was that the batteries in the camera were dead! So no pictures, but here's how I did it:. 1) Stack your plywood flat on top of a flat surface (I used 3/4" plywood). 3) Screwed it all together so it wouldn't move on me. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
