Project Log: Saturday, November 22, 2014
I lightly sanded, vacuumed, solvent-washed, and
tacked-off all the cabin sole sections--in the boat, the
hatches, and the pilothouse sections, plus the trim--to
prepare them for the next coat of varnish, this time a
rubbed-effect satin varnish that I'd used throughout the
cabin. I moved some of the pieces out of the wood
shop, ostensibly so I could get some work done back
there if I so chose.

As it happened, though I made a feeble attempt later, I
ultimately chose not to do much woodwork on this day.
I did go through my wood supply to pull out what was a
more more feeble selection of cherry than I'd hoped (and
thought) I had on hand (for finishing up the remaining
interior trim work), plus some mahogany left over from
another project that I planned to repurpose for the
forward deadlight trim. |

For a while I dilly-dallied around, removed the hinges
from the louvered doors I planned to use for the large
locker opposite the head, and thought for a while about
milling cherry into the strips I needed for the overhead
and hatch trim in the main cabin, but I didn't feel like
sanding anything (which I needed to do before milling my
one board into smaller strips), so eventually I left and
did other things. I'd need to order some more
cherry to wrap things up anyway, and I couldn't even go
into the boat (with the wet cabin sole varnish) to
measure for trim or determine the profiles needed.
My work style and overall interest in something is
either "all in", or "not in at all", and on this
afternoon I just wasn't in at all. But I'd
accomplished what I'd really wanted, which was the cabin
sole work. |
