PAPER JET UP DATE (GETTING THERE)

The wing framing continues here. Getting things lined up epoxied in and such.

The center mound going in. First step was to dry fit it then use masking tape to assemble it. Seccond was take it off the mound and epoxy fillet the interior let cure and then epoxy it down to the deck.

The start of the mast support frames.

Dry fit of those solid cedar wing tips. The call on the directions was to filp the boat over I was able to do it right side up with some help from quick grip. Hind sight tells me that gluing the cedar to thick ness (two 3/4 boards) then cutting the angle cut that meets the bow was the wrong move. I used the table saw to do this and yet think it would be better to cut that angle on a scrol saw with the table set at a 38-45 deg angle cut the two boards then glue them to thickness and sand to finish. The table saw worked out ok but created a lot of hand work to get the cedar to bump in to fit. Doing this step one 3/4 board at at time would be little easer.

This show a little of the clamp detail for the wing tips look closely and see that the blue quick grip is just over the edge and holding up ward pressure on to a half inch popular strip shown in next picture.

This is the under side basically the popular strips are screwed to wing frames keeping upward pressure on wing tip while epoxy dries.

The under side of the complete wings now getting epoxy fillets in all joints against hull.

The epoxy fillet here is where keeping all scrap off the ply wood sheets work out very well. The half moon shapes from the center cut outs for the mast support is the perfect filleting tool for this fillet. Just sand mark for max material condition mix epoxy and go.

The boat is officially out of the house. The house worked out well just ready to have my living room back after about three months. Started the build Dec 23 out by April 3. Moving along good now is the start on all that sanding.

Just a 4x8 foldable trailer that I got for $200 made my v blocks from 3/4 play wood scrap laying around and used 1/2 in pipe insulation for bumpers. Tempory untill I get sanding and epoxy on then 2x4s covered in carpet that tilt like what is on boat trailer will go on the back. Still having great fun with this project.

CHERRY CUPBOARD AND DISPLAY CASE

I was fortunate enough to have a customer send me final pics of this project. The build pics are on down on the page.

This is the start of a cup board and display case. Solid cherry in picture above is where it started and finished out as I had planed and designed. Customer brought me just the need and sizes of cups and plates and how many the rest I came up with. I wish I had gotten more pictures of the processes to give a better understanding into such a project. It is a 30 x 30 x5 case but has over 54 joints the rest of the pictures show the work comming together.

The back framing assembly the panneled framming is all half lap joints where most of the 54 joints take place.

Here is the middle shelves kept the half lap joint flowing right through every thing once the case sides, and top were on it ended up a very solid unit.

Assembly of sides top starts and looks good finished all interior serfaces before assembly.

Side view finished product.

Top view of the beautiful cherry.

Front view glass gave me flash back.

Front view no flash back give a better idea of pannel details, and hooks. Just a grove in all surfaces to hold the plates.

Last thoughts include wish I had a better supplier for cherry really good stuff just would of been nice to have a little straighter half inch material.
