One of THOSE weekends :) (Patreon)

NB! I had a ton of problems rendering this video. Normally the rendering takes around 40 minutes (using Final Cut). This time around it took over 5 hours. I'm finally uploading the rendered file but It's now 1:30 am. I'm going to publish this file as soon as youtube finished processing it because I want to get to bed ASAP. That means HD and 4K resolutions may not be available straight out of the gate. Check back in a few hours if they're not available - they will be then :) 

Hi guys 

So the week started out great. I ordered some potentially spiffy expanding epoxy foam. I also realized that I needed more hose to vacuum infuse the second rudder shell - ordered that. Figuring that I might want to get started sanding aboard Athena I also ordered 2 packs of 36 grit paper. All preped to shoot the next video - perfect! Nope!

The expanding foam didn't show up (it's still stuck in Germany). Wednesday I realized I was out of PVA to do the vacuum infusion (no way of getting it before the weekend). The sandpaper never showed up either. Dang it! 

I made it through the weekend and got a bit of work done aboard Athena. Phew :) Now it's just a matter of rendering the video and hope next weekend isn't as bumpy of a ride. Oh but wait there's more ;) Usually, it takes 30-40 minutes to render a video. For whatever reason, it took over 5 freaking hours to render this one. I have no idea what is wrong with Final Cut - I desperately need to sort it out before next weekend! 

On a positive note, it feels great to get started on dealing with the structural members :) I'm so excited to get done laying up the glass! After that, the real fun starts - rebuilding :) 

Anywho it's getting later over here. I'm off to the v-berth :) Thank you so much for your support guys! See you next weekend :)
