Stickiness Factor 0/10
For readers who are unaware of poets let me enlighten you. Poets day only ever occurs on a Friday and involves leaving work early because as the acronym alludes "tomorrow's Saturday". I'll leave you work out the first two words.
As you will no doubt have guessed this is Friday's post. A week of early mornings allowed me to accumulate some time and take Friday afternoon as boat building time. Thanks as ever to my lovely wife for allowing me leave my desk while she continued working for the afternoon.
As mentioned in my last post I've added one or two luxuries to the build and having decided on the beverage holders the next addition was going to be either cutting edge sound system, periscope in case of submersion (likely) or some decorative decking instead of plain old wood decking. The sound system would add too much weight and mixing water with electrics is suicide in my book. The periscope? well that's just ridiculous, though useful. So onto the decorative decking! That'll test my marquetry skills, or it would if I had any.
I made my plan, sort of and starting cutting some strips of wood from my off cuts and left overs. Now even if I do say so myself, I think it looks pretty awesome and of course will look more awsomeer when its sanded flush and varnished. The downside is this. What you see in this photograph is the sum total of my 4 four hours work! Looks great but rather than progressing with the build I think I'm falling further behind and now in serious danger of missing launch date.
Fortunately I haven't sold any tickets to would be passengers so no refunds to worry about, just a little face loosing which by the way would not be a problem right now as the face is still very much in itchy and scratchy mode.
On a final note I have now managed the shape the troublesome piece that runs along the top of the bulkhead to meet the gunwales. TFFT
