http://woodnmetalguy.blogspot.com/2014/08/mast-boom-and-yard-making-some.html
The story of my SCAMP sailboat build. For more information on the design, see www.smallcraftadvisor.com. Saturday, August 16, 2014. Mast, boom, and yard - making some expensive shavings. A couple posts ago I talked about installing the gunwales and carlins on the hull, and discussed the problems I was having with the epoxied scarf joints giving way under the heat of the steam. To avoid the problem when installing the carlins, I wanted to get those parts in one piece. Then I made some sawdust. Here ar...

Sundowner Build: July 2014
http://sundownerbuild.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, 31 July 2014. Forward cabin still - lead keel? I have continued slowly with the forward cabin. Next on the agenda was to sand down a few ply joins that were not quite smooth and then epoxy the underside of the front deck (the roof of the forward cabin). Below shows the view looking forward on the starboard side above the overhead storage. A shot showing the forward laminated beam on frame 2 and the forward king plank (in place for a powered chain winch down the track):. This is the first layer,...

This weekend I checked off one of the most venerable items from my to-do list - applying the sail numbers to my Neil Pryde sail. I think I've had this on the list for about a year, and decided to check it off. I taped down a couple corners so they didn't move around on me. Then using the tape as a hinge, lifted the decal. Then s...

The story of my SCAMP sailboat build. For more information on the design, see www.smallcraftadvisor.com. Thursday, October 30, 2014. Shaping skegs using router and template. With the skegs rough cut and laminated, the next step was to bring them down to final dimension. Keeping the curves fair and the right shape to fit the hull, and keeping both skegs identical was a daunting prospect. Here's a shot of the nice curve towards the stern. And shaped it to final dimension with my Shinto rasp. Looking good&#...

Sundowner Build: Catch up part 3 - galley and head door
http://sundownerbuild.blogspot.com/2015/07/catch-up-part-3-galley-and-head-door.html
Saturday, 25 July 2015. Catch up part 3 - galley and head door. Ever since I decided to put in a cassette toilet I was thinking of a door for the space to cover view from the main cabin. I don't know why, but a bi fold one was what I came up with, intending that most of the time it would be hidden. Below is the first section screwed in place:. And the second. There will be a barrel bolt inside to hold the two pieces together to form the door:. I also glued in the galley top from 6mm ply with 9mm ply (lef...
