Workshop FTW! (Patreon)

There is no doubt about it! I love our workshop! This has been the first week where I've spent a large amount of time there and it's been absolutely perfect. I can't tell you how great it feels to be able to push ahead on projects I wouldn't be able to do aboard Athena (because of space and temperature). 

This weekend I got a solid start on the dodger. The plan is to get it faired over the coming week. Depending on the shape of the new windows I might have to do a tiny bit of glass work. That shouldn't be a big deal but I need to figure that out before priming and painting the dodger. 

I'm hopeful I can get started building the mold for the rudder next weekend. This will be the first mold I've ever built. Needless to say, I'm very excited :D After I'm done with the mold I'll have to find somewhere to store it in case another Warrior 38/40 needs a new rudder :)

The cleat casting project is also on the short list of projects. That is, however, something I'll be doing with cement-boat-guy and we have to work around his schedule. There is no date set but it's coming. 

Oh and my tungsten sharpening doohiky is stuck in customs. That's good news because that means I can soon start practicing welding with uniformly sharpened tungsten. That is one less variable to worry about :) The only downside to the package being stopped in customs is the $30 import fee - tsk tsk.

Jökull and I have been invited to have dinner with some fellow liveaboards and we both need a shower first so I better run :) I'll see you guys next weekend. Thank you so much for your support! :)
