Project Log: Friday, January 17, 2014
After bringing three sets of sawhorses into the shop, I
divided the bulwark boards among them and solvent-washed
to clean and remove sanding dust. Afterwards, I
applied a well-thinned sealer coat of varnish to all
sides, including the plank ends and half-laps.

I planned to build up a number of coats on the back
sides, edges, and ends of the planks before
installation, to ensure these areas had good coverage
that would help the exposed areas weather the elements
better in the long run. I'd do most of the buildup
on the exposed sides later, once the planks were
installed and the screw holes bunged, but planned
several coats on these sides before installation as
well.
Later, I pulled all the ports/windows (I'll
probably alternate between names throughout these
writings) out of storage so I could begin going through
them to prepare for installation. For the
immediate future, I planned to focus first on the tasks
that I felt were absolutely required in order to launch
the boat, then work my way into other areas of the list. |
