It's been yet another busy week here in Skive. For reasons beyond my control, we've had to move to a new workshop. It's not as nice as the old one, but it is bigger. Moving everything took a lot of time, and we're not done unpacking at the new place yet. I wish I could have spent more time aboard Athena this week, but sometimes life gets in the way :) 

I'm glad I managed to finish the settee. It was definitely more satisfying to finish the kerfed plywood corner last week. No doubt because it was more of a challenge :) There will be more projects like that soon. I'm playing around with all kinds of fancy drawer ideas for the head :) 

Speaking of the head. Figuring out the layout is moving higher and higher up on my to-do list. This week I can finish the setee area - get that all painted and glass in the supports for the back. I can also make another laminated beam. After that, I need to start working on the head. I might upload some hand-drawn examples of layouts this week to get some feedback :) I've got three I'm considering, and feedback would be fantastic.

Jokull is overdue for his afternoon walk :) I better get moving. I hope you've all had an awesome weekend! Thank you so much for your support :)

Sail Life - Building the new settee & glassing new knees - DIY sailboat refit

In this video I build the last half of the new settee and fix the glass in the core for the new knees (or at least one of them). *** Links *** Sail Life Shop: (Items are shipped from the US!) https://saillifeshop.com/ Sail Life on Patreon: http://bit.ly/SailLifeOnPatreon Sail Life on Instagram: http://instagram.com/madsdahlke Sail Life on Facebook: http://bit.ly/SailLifeOnFacebook Sail Life on Twitter: http://bit.ly/SailLifeOnTwitter Donations for the sandpaper fund: https://www.paypal.me/saillife

Mads, I just read one of the most amazing things, it was about Maarten van der Weijden and all he's accomplished, truly an inspiring story. If you guys haven't heard about him, look it up. TL:DR, Maarten van der Weijden amazing swimmer, beats cancer and returns to swimming, breaking about every long distance swimming record out there...

Great progress. I’d like to ask why there is a gap left behind the new knees or was that sealed when you tabbed it in and I just missed it?
