Good grief... what a busy week! After the busy Memorial Day weekend, the whole following week continued to be very busy. There were however two very positive outcomes of all the activity. First, I managed to run a 5k in 19:35; which I think is my fastest 5k EVER. Very exciting (to me). Second, I bought a new car:
It is an 09 Subaru Forester, and is what I intend to haul the XCR around with.
Anyway, back to the build... I got a little work done on the sheer clamps again last night; got the outer edges planed down. When I glued them on, I let them stick up above the plywood panel a little bit. That way, after they are planed down, they will offer a larger gluing surface for the deck panel (panel 4). I definatley feel like a "real" boatbuilder working with a plane... nice curly shavings everywhere... the smell of cedar... nice.
I also had my wife pick up some disposible frosting piping bags from the grocery store. These are basically just a couple of plastic triangles that are welded together and open on one end. I can stuff them full of thickened epoxy, cut the tip to whatever size I want, and squeeze epoxy exactly where I want it. Well, at least that is the plan! We'll see how it goes tonight!
