So many tips!

If you are prone to help videos, and general boaty building information, you absolutely must watch ALL of these videos on this fab YouTube channel, Tips from a Shipwright.

Shipwright Louis Sauzedde is a wonderful personality, and incredibly skilled with his hands. I would highly recommend watching the full series on building the work skiff, 30-ish episodes from timber yard to water.

Prepare to get lost!

My god months pass!

I have been doing everything. Including boat work.
Just letting you know, I’m alive and happy, the boat is looking fair and is progressing. My career as a blogger and social media magnate has waned at the expense of some focussing.

Some key points:

1. I killed Robert’s Festo sander (gearbox).
2. I killed my Metabo sander (bearings).
3. I had Robert’s sander’s gearbox replaced and it’s as new, but still patina riddled.
4. He took it away (apparently he had to use it…sheesh!)
5. I brought a new one, he paid for it.
6. I am buying his old one off him. Bingo.
7. I went to the Hobart Wooden Boat Festival.
8. I have been sailing (see below video).
9. I also have been sanding.

Here is a video by the wonderful Paul Cleaver of our little West Lakes sail together.
