Started by cleaning up the scarfs from Sunday.
Scraping
Sanding
Planing the edge to a smooth curve
Then it was time to prepare and glue the second scarf joint on the planks. All the plank pieces was already marked so I knew which side to plane the scarf on (see where this is leading...?).
Marking the shape of the plank on the workbench using the template (to make sure I have the right angle at the joint)
Marked the scarf on the work bench. Notice how the plank is marked with "NEJ" that means "NO" in Swedish and means I shall not plane on this side, the other side is marked "Scarf".
I am happy with this one
?????
Luckily the plank is slightly over length so I can probably save it by using a butt joint, it will be under the seat so no one will ever see it but it is annoying anyhow.
That is when I realized that I probably should stop for the day. I just glued up the good scarf first.
Note to self: When you are tired, sniveling and have a fever, don't try to build a boat.....
Time today: 1.5h
I understand completely. I would add that being slightly drunk, or when the temperature is over 39 degrees Celsius in the shed is also a recipe for simple-but very annoying-errors.
ReplyDeleteI made some on Gath Mor, but fortunately only when marking out; although I did cut out a frame the wrong way on the sheet so I can't use the rest as efficiently as I should.
Thanks Richard, can see that and will add it to my mental list (rarely gets that hot here so maybe just the drink);)
