Varnishing the floorboards...

-
Image
 This is a nice milestone for me.  I milled my floorboards from a pair of large western cedar planks.  That was a fun job made easier by having access to a full woodworking shop equipped with a large bandsaw for resawing the planks into smaller boards and large jointer and planer to finish them to size.   It took some head scratching but I finally was able to get a pretty fair curve on the boards.  Now I'm ready to varnish. I started by putting a layer of epoxy on all surfaces of the boards.  Cedar is a pretty soft wood and the epoxy has hardened it up nicely. For varnish, I'm planning to apply several coats of Epifanes.  At this point I'[m using the high gloss but may decide to use the satin as the last coat. Space is at a premium so I came up with the idea to string wire between the cradle arms to hold the long boards while they dry.  I also made to smaller stands to support the smaller boards.  This has worked out great.

 I milled up a pile of western cedar boards for use as the cabin sole.  It's mostly knot free and the knots I have are small-ish.   Here is the port side roughed in.

Milling time!

 While I wait for my hull epoxy to dry I'm going to get started on the floorboards.  I've got a number of large planks of western cedar that I'm going to use.  First I have to mill these 3-in x 15-in x 10-ft planks down to size.

Initial Hull glassing finally done

-
Image
 Finally done with the inside hull fiberglassing.  As you can see, I'm following the steps suggested by Brent's blog and doing alot of work on the lower hull before installing the sides.   Getting these areas around the floor boards glassed was hard enough - not sure I could have gotten there if the sides were on. I also did a variation on the way I glassed between the floors. First I put glass in each corner.  I actually used a bigger piece that extended farther toward the center of the centerboard. Then I glassed the sides of each floor board with it extending out over the hull panel.  Finally I laid a wide strip down the center.   This took longer, but was much easier to lay down.  The first section I tried using a single sheet and total messed it up.  This worked well.

Fillet Day!

-
Image
 I finally have all the floors and bulkheads wired down, straight and true.  Now its time to get the fillets down.  I did a test fillet using peel ply and really like the result, so I'm going to be using this where I can. I'm holding off right now on installing bulkheads 1 and 2.  I haven't decided yet if installing these bulkheads when I do the side panels will be the best way to approach this build.

Bulkhead 7 Drama

-
Image
    When I installed BH7, I made it square with the centerboard case - or at least that was what I attempted to do. The BH wasn't aligning very well with the cradle, but since that seems to be one of the most common complaints others have posted about, I wasn't too concerned. I epoxied it in and everything was looking good until I started adding the other bulkheads.  I just could not seem to get BH8 to line up correctly and still be in the wire holes in the hull panels.        I even put a laser level to the hull to check for alignment and twist.  All looked fine.                   So I started to look at the alignment from a different perspective.  If I wired in BH8 using the provided holes, then measure from the bulkhead to the aft end, I could see that the BH was parallel with the aft hull.  Measuring the gap between BH8 and BH7 and I found a 3/4-inch difference between the starboard and po...
