Re: MFG rebuild getting started pics

Hang around as long as ya want AJ . But i have to warn you . I sure ain,t no pro at any of this stuff . I signed up to this job knowing there would be a lot of " on the job training " just like the rest of us rookie,s . :nod:

Hey , Whats the deal with my video ?
I checked my thread on my phone today and like beardedone said it was blocked cuss of some music rights or something .
Now it,s back up again .
I have to be more careful . I feel like i,m being watched or something better keep a low profile ... :behindsofa:

Re: MFG rebuild getting started pics

Just when I thought I was done making templates .

I had enough resin to put the last coat of glass on 2 of the seat bases . I,ll pick some up tomorrow and try and get the other 2 done ..
I then cut the bottom piece for the gunwale shelf out of the poly boards I picked up the other day .

This does not have to be a perfect cut because I will install a thin piece of trim that will cover the brackets and edge of the horizontal shelf .

Re: MFG rebuild getting started pics

sphelps, you skills are at the level of a pro. You might be a rookie like the rest of us, but your work could pass as PRO. Keep up the good work. I'll be watching and learning.

Re: MFG rebuild getting started pics

The last 2 vids or blocked for some reason. Looks like some kind of copyright deal..:crazy:
Someone else said the same thing earlier in the thread.

Re: MFG rebuild getting started pics

Ya know there,s nothing worse than wearing a respirator when you have the sniffles .. Mustered enough strength to put the last layer of glass on the seat bases . Gunna down about half bottle of NyQuil and hope I don;t wake up late for work ..
Hope ya,ll have a great rest of he week !

Hope you feel better...colds suck!:grumpy:

Re: MFG rebuild getting started pics

Yeah, get some rest and make sure you clean the inside of the respirator with some acetone.. Don't want you to reinfect yourself..
Get well soon dude..

Re: MFG rebuild getting started pics

Yep ^^ agreed!

Besides, gotta be healthy for the weekend! Updates or no, wasting time off sick, sucks

Re: MFG rebuild getting started pics

Hope you start feeling better soon. I swear every time I do something that involves sanding the glass I get the coughs. I think my mind plays tricks on me as I have a huge fear of inhaling that stuff with all I have read on here about it. I even bought a full face respirator and while I love it for keeping the dust off my face and protecting me, I still cough the rest of the night. Mind over matter and my mind is winning. :miserable: :crazy: Maybe your mind works the same way only when you are doing the glassing. :bi_polo:

Ya know, I love these new emoticons. :rofl:

Feel better. No sense doing anything when you feel like that.

Acetone ? is there anything that stuff can,t do !:lol:

Thanks, GT ,jbc, AJ and TC !
I am feeling a little better today. Maybe it,s because I had the day off .

Re: MFG rebuild getting started pics

Well I was not going to waste a day off sick or not so I went out this morning and was disgusted with the mess I was trying to work in.

Soooo I cleaned up a bit . It,s still a bit of a mess but at least I can walk all the way around the boat now .

I also managed to do a little pb fairing on the bases .

Hope I can get these ready for paint soon .

Re: MFG rebuild getting started pics

Workshop cleanup always makes me feel better... You got yours looking good...

Just curious - when we are we splashing this boat?

Uhmmmm Uhmmm good question Pmc ! Hopefully before the end of 2013 ! :laugh:
No seriously it has been really hard to find the time to get all the little things done with my work schedule lately . I really need to make a list of every thing needed and start checking them off as I go . A winter time splash would not be a problem down here so as soon as she,s ready she,s getting wet !
Been thinking on giving her a name but haven,t decided yet .
