Garage TETRIS led to Boat Works TETRIS. We freed up some wire shelving in the garage and it wandered out to the shed. The new shelf will hold patterns.
Several full size patterns were also evicted from the garage.
We also gathered full size wood and paper patterns for the wooden Alcort Sunfish.
We made a couple of errant cuts when we sliced the bottom off of CHIP with a reciprocating saw, so it is time to repair those areas. The cuts are on the cockpit bulkheads, and those need to be watertight. We used TotalBoat THIXO thickened epoxy to fill the void.
We grabbed some painter's paper and made patterns from the bottom panels. Also marked the location of the stringer screws.
Side plank pattern.
Marked location of stringers and stringer screws.
On the aft panel pattern we also marked the location of the bulkheads, the panel gets nails there also.
Made patterns for the floorboards.
Current state of affairs in the Carriage House, 2 wooden Sunfish, 1 wooden Standard Sailfish, 1 KM Paddleboard and a keel longeron for a Pascagoula Catboat.
Thinking about reverse engineering a wooden Sunfish. I took a few rough station and frame measurements, and started thinking about what color to paint it.
Chip, our 1965 wooden Sunfish, needs new hull plywood, the scarf joint has delaminated, so when the old plywood comes off we can get some great measurements.
