My little piece of peace

Did I say "it was easy"? - I said, It depends on what you call easy..... Robbing a bank may seem easy, but staying out of jail is not... Therefore I am NOT inclined to rob any banks

On change of resin drums an Oops (possibly cross contamination of batches is not good as first mix refused to harden so everything had to be ripped and cut out

Imagine a whole hull with this problem. The model I made of my boat had the same issue, wouldn't harden, what's made me think I don't like epoxy.

[masalai]

Hi Fanie, it was not the whole drum but the mixing to make a small batch with a bit from one 20l drum with a little from the new drum so basically 400ml - about 2m of fillet...

[Fanie]

Hey Mas,

That picture dscn3031 with the long view over the boat...
looks great eh
One begins to get the feel for it already.
It is one of buildings nicer feelings and that's when one
realize, blooming blazes... it's going to be a boat !



Looks different though once you're out there
if the waves begin to push up some...

Imagine the shack is a little wave and it's coming at you

[Fanie]

Nothing is ever a complete loss. Your epoxy that wouldn't harden got transformed into an artwork. I call it Rough Sea.

I know the frame doesn't fit perfectly, but it's one I stole (for free) from Mark.
Also. someone has gone and put his big foot in it

At least it's framed

[masalai]

Very nice Fanie... I am impressed - - - - but it seems Jeff isn't - - - "You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Fanie again." - - - - Bugger

[hoytedow]

I am also impressed. Fanie you have an artistic eye.

[masalai]

Big tidy-up, boat almost ready for final external paint, coach-house starts new year, and deck fittings & deck hardware & mast etc, and plumbing, wiring and painting internal (my tasks ) - - Midyear launch? maybe....

[Frosty]

Mid year launch???? hang on a minute what did I say about 2 weeks back?

[masalai]

Lunch - Bugger these typo's - - - - I am not God? - - - Sheesh, Next sainthood? Just going by your corrections...

[Fanie]

Geeez Frosty, I cannot remember what happened yesterday, you talk about two weeeeks back ? Were we on ther forum then already. It sounds so long ago...

Mas, that round red thing is either a huge friggin hydraulic jack - or a vacuum cleaner

[masalai]

That is the secret power plant - - uses a cold fusion process... Gives off hot air and electricity Its energy source appears to be dust... which it voraciously sucks up...

I knew a bloke called "Hydraulic Jack" - his profession seemed to be at lifting stuff, like log-skidders, D8 or larger bulldozers and the likes - - he would make them vanish without a trace, never to be found again...

[Boston]

thing is looking sharp there Mass
way to go
I cant wait to see what you do with the top sides

[masalai]

Just been browsing through this thread. I think RHP should win an award for best avatar. His photo is a great power shot.

I was expecting to see photos of Mas wearing sunglasses, sailing his cat in a brisk sea breeze. Man.....still so much work to do. I hope the builders aren't getting too bored.

Very interesting thread, Mas
