My little piece of peace

Boston, You better go and check out those girls in the vintage car, and possibly the one in the background near the entry is overheating or almost on fire??? - every time I look the smoke seems to be increasing...

 

Hi Mas,

Thanks for the PM. I'll keep in mind.

Boston, winter is the time to do glassing, it gives you lots of time to work witht the stuff so it comes out just right. We have an early summer, I have 10 mins flat to do what I want and then it's over. A bit shitty when you have a largish thing to make, especially half way through if the timer tells you Beeeeep ! Too late, start over

 

winter set in in about a day round here
was 80 on sunday
is 37 now
just had to waist a day moving everything inside into my incredibly to small basement
what a pain in the but
oh well
for what I do temp effects glue mostly
Ive actually never touched fiberglass other than to do dent and scratch repairs
in that regard its a lot like auto body work

so whats new on the build today Brian
pictures ?

 

Ordered $600 in International 'bogging' paint from the rep, who calls by fortnightly, as the magic team are heavily into sanding and finishing the insides, prior to doing the decks... and also purchased 4 lengths of 80mm 'stormwater' pipe and some elbows, to carry the electrical and associated systems... and then up to Buderim to sort out some technical issues on my new toys (802.11g wireless not working - probably drivers not installed? :?: )

Fanie see your epoxy rep as there are different hardeners for different temperatures - we use 3 different ones I think, and the temperature range in "working hours" is about 12 to 35 deg Celsius or else visit the ATL and email off a few questions http://www.atlcomposites.com.au/atl_composites/ it is a big site and I have found them most helpful - - - Come build in Australia, my space should be available in early 2010 - rent, including power is AU$1900.00 for 6 months, paid in advance... and the owner of the property is a qualified electrician - so can legally certify the wiring etc as legally compliant... Australian ship registration has some advantages in regional acceptance... Federal registration fee is some AU$800 and is forever...

 

Hello everybody... Back from Buderim and looked in on my build on the way home so that means more pretty pictures white bog sprayed on, and it all looks good in the shower toilet areas port side and false floors prep work for starboard...

 

And a few more - - unused P & S cargo hold washing machine does fit nicely (in forward section of starboard hull), and a view forward over port hull... I am growing a bigger smile each day - by April I will outdo the "Cheshire cat"

 

The computers twin (redundancy) from www.digitechqld.com.au send Damien an email outlining your needs and request a price digitechqld@gmail.com

 

This sucks a bit, a COFFEE mug by the PC ??? or is it just sloppy photography...

And muffs and a respirator by the washing machine ? Wow !

 

looks great Mas
just a thought
introduce those guys to Mr Sander and tell em to have at those curved cuts before they paint anymore
couldnt help but notice those edges were looking kinda rough to be painted even with base coat
that or your going to end up hitting the sanded areas again anyway unless you hit em now
might as well only do it once mate
cheers
B
