Too busy to build but there is some progress...

Sorry to say but I really was a bit too busy to do much on the boat.
As ever I do multiple courses. Still doing welding courses and an Instructor First Aid course.
Well, during exam times there's not much time left unfortunately.

But I couldn't resist to do some boatbuilding every now and then 😏.
Here are some pictures of the progress:

In these pictures I finished the bulkheads and the floor frames. I bended the floor frames to have some platform to fix the wooden floor. I discovered that it is much more precise not to do that but to weld a piece of L-profile instead. I can line up these pieces exactly. Now I have to correct the height with some filler pieces of wood. Not a big problem but extra work.


Bulkhead 7 is in the wood version a complet closed bulkhead which has to be cut out after installing. This is a very inefficient way in aluminum. In a next build I won't do this again. An L-profile crossbar, an extra floor frame and the cut out piece of bulkhead 8 will do the job perfectly I guess.

I also started the floor of the cabin. Working with wood again yeah... 

 

I absolutely enjoyed this. Took about a half day of work. Still have to finish the wood of course. Not sure how to treat the floor boards. Varnish? Tung Oil? something else?
