June update

Well ... the drawers were a real challange but I finished the 4 in the 'Skipper's Stateroom'.  (that means the berth you can stand up next to vs the crew berths)
I've been working a lot of hours and teaching traffic school on weekends so projects have been going slowly.  Here are pictures of the drawers.  If you look at picture 4 you can see that neither the drawer or the back are square.  This is what presented the problem.  I ended up had cutting the finger joints on the back panel with my new Japanese Saw.  You can't see it in this picture but I've put part of the finsish trip on the top edge of the berth side.  I'll add a top view picture tomorrow.

Scroll past the pictures and I'll tell you what I've been working on this week.




Hello again .... All week I've been preparing to glass in the Port water tank.  Lots of prep before the first peice of cloth ever gets wet.  I'd like to get the sides finished this weekend.  I can glass on the lid anytime because I can grind to get a good joint.
