I could have used that bow eye jig! Looking great, nice progress!

Same... eventually.

Anywhere in your thread did you post pics of how you made the flat area for the eye? It’s beautifully clean!

Hi Dan, I looked back in my pictures but apparently didn't take any of that process. I probably used a chisel and a rasp to clean it out. At least that's what I'd do if I had to do it now

A little progress this week, but not as much as Salty I wasn't gong to install the console until I finished the forward lockers for access but I found I kept loosing days waiting for things to cure. This way I can alternate between the two jobs. Dusted off the console and mounted it on a couple of blocks to clear the chase tubes while I double checked the location.



Couldn't resist dry fitting the foredeck to see how it looked



Primed all the mating surfaces and bedded the console on a good amount of glue. I was amazed how much it took to get a good layer spread out with a notched spreader.




I put all sorts of things in it to get it nice and flat. Taped the sides and aft with one layer as per drawing.


After it had cured, gave everything a good sand and touched up a few bear patches with resin.
