Sundowner Build: July 2014
http://sundownerbuild.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, 31 July 2014. Forward cabin still - lead keel? I have continued slowly with the forward cabin. Next on the agenda was to sand down a few ply joins that were not quite smooth and then epoxy the underside of the front deck (the roof of the forward cabin). Below shows the view looking forward on the starboard side above the overhead storage. A shot showing the forward laminated beam on frame 2 and the forward king plank (in place for a powered chain winch down the track):. This is the first layer,...

My Name is Boots: I think she likes me
http://bootstheoldtomcat.blogspot.com/2014/07/i-think-she-likes-me.html
Saturday, July 26, 2014. I think she likes me. Dunno how long the ole' girl has been beside me,. But I really do think she likes me. She greets me at the door every time I come in,. And has stuck with me through thick and thin. She really is very pretty,. For an ole' stray tabby kitty. She often strikes a sexy pose,. Even though she's got a messy nose. We know our days on this planet are numbered,. Yet we choose to spend most of them in slumber. Each and every moment together is special,.

Sundowner Build: Catch up part 3 - galley and head door
http://sundownerbuild.blogspot.com/2015/07/catch-up-part-3-galley-and-head-door.html
Saturday, 25 July 2015. Catch up part 3 - galley and head door. Ever since I decided to put in a cassette toilet I was thinking of a door for the space to cover view from the main cabin. I don't know why, but a bi fold one was what I came up with, intending that most of the time it would be hidden. Below is the first section screwed in place:. And the second. There will be a barrel bolt inside to hold the two pieces together to form the door:. I also glued in the galley top from 6mm ply with 9mm ply (lef...

Sundowner Build: June 2014
http://sundownerbuild.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 10 June 2014. Front and side decks second layer. With the second layer on the front deck started things progressed relatively quickly. Simply a case of trimming and dry fitting a plank each side, and repeat. I pre-drilled and countersunk the screw holes as usual. When you have cut the plank to size, and marked out the screw holes (there will be lots of them! The second layer fully dry fit:. Then it was the usual mad scramble to mix epoxy, thickly spread it and screw down the planks. I worked...

Sundowner Build: May 2015
http://sundownerbuild.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, 16 May 2015. Cockpit floor dry fit. This is what I have been standing on while working on the access hatch. The spotted gum king plank is 20mm thick and 90mm wide, but only sitting in place. All others are epoxied in. Below is looking from the transom frame forward. Frame 8 is waterproof (top half still plain epoxy on ply, bottom half painted). In front of that is the space for the fuel tank (that's why the king plank is not stuck in) and in the middle is the cockpit floor. Keen eyed watchers w...

Sundowner Build: November 2014
http://sundownerbuild.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Friday, 28 November 2014. After hiding from it, procrastinating and being down right scared of it the time had come to pour the keel. I had previously purchased some lead, and bought another couple of hundred kilograms of ingot and about 200kg of lead flashing, dive weights for a total of about 934kgs. And this would be the four or fifth keel melted in it. Also bought some antimony to harden it a little bit, should end up about 3% of the total. Mild panic attack on arrival, although the lead was not gush...

Dock Master of Haverstraw Marina and Author of Nautical Murder and Mayhem Eternally Chasing the Ever Elusive Leaks. LAST EXIT IN NEW JERSEY. May 26, 2016. Even as I avoided the Internet, it seems to have caught up to me. The other morning as I headed down the dock, one of the marina members caught up with me, telling me she’d seen my video on the Internet, and it was great. My video?
