Dinning Area

These really hot days I've been working on grinding, glassing in bulkheads, and insulating so I can make more progress on the dinning area.  Recall ... the whole boat above the waterline will be insulated with 1-1/2" DOW Polystrene Blueboard glued in place with 3M adhesive 78 especially designed for adhering Blueboard to fiberglass and other non-porous plastics.
Yesterday and today I've been re-sawing 3/4" White Oak for the interior stripping.  It gets a dado edge for overelapping the boards a tiny bit.

Well, it's the next day ... I put in all the Oak strips and fit in the seat boards.



Pretty cosy if I do say so myself




 Half way through re-sawing #4 of my boards the blade broke on my bandsaw so I TIG welded it back together so I could finish #4 and finish 5 & 6.  I'll need a new blade, as I think it stretch along one side when it fatigued and broke, but that got me through for today.

    It's coming along nicely. I like the pictures of you working in your "shop". In the first one you look like Richard Gere! =) Very resourceful, as always, welding the saw blade so you could finish cutting the wood.
