November 9th

Been a long time since an update.  Not much progress in the last week.  Mrs Nuts had an operation on  her foot and was / is out of action for a while.  All is good and she should be 100% soon.  Boat building took a back seat for a bit but decided to get back on track now so started making the stabilizing fins. 

Printed a foil section I chose (NACA 0015) to scale and glued the shape to the edge of glued plywood.


I then cut groves with the table saw to assist with shaping.


Then attacked with a nice sharp chisel and block plane, belt and random orbital sander.


All nicely smooth and straight.  Cut the glass and peel ply ready for glassing tomorrow.  

Weather forecast lousy for the next days so can hide in the workshop.  Mrs Nuts semi mobile now so I am redundant in the house.
