Skipper's Starboard Garboard

23 May 26:

I traced out the rolling bevel cut for BARABSHELA's starboard garboard and Skipper grabbed the circular saw to make the cut. We marked the bevel degrees on the cut line every foot or so and then used our MK-I eyeball to get close to the correct bevel, leaving a little bit to trim. We only cut the bottom bevel, then we'll trim to fit on the boat, and then mark and cut the top bevel.


Starboard garboard installed!! Fender washers were key. WALDO the shop stool makes an appearance. And we want to give a shoutout to the strongback, it has been doing a great job supporting the restoration, and being mobile has been very useful, as the skiff has to be on a diagonal to get the shop garage door closed.
