Back from the dead........

After what seems like an eternity I'm back to being a boat builder again. I finally found a hole in my schedule to get some work in. I think about the boat constantly. I work on drawings and things when I get a chance, but that hasn't converted into much progress over the last couple months. I have put in enough "carbon monkey" time at EBS to have unlimited access to the facilities so that should make it possible to get some things done. I have found its a lot easier to make progress in a fully decked out composites shop than it is in my freezing garage.



Here I am in the sanding booth, air tools make a week long job take a couple hours.



Much better than it was, I'm on my way out to fair this layer down to hopefully perfect then spray the final top coat. I really want to make this nice because the tool surface will be showing on my clear carbon deck.


Stayed late one night this week and wetsanded/polished/released this little fella. Very shinny and ready for lay up.


Spent the morning at the CU Engineering Auction and picked up this fine piece of kit. Thanks to the collage always buying new tools and getting rid of what they don't use very much, I was able to "steal" this Edwards M8 for $100. It looks to have been used maybe twice, I don't think they knew that it's a $2400 pump......ha ha.
