Got some decking loose fit. Painting the sole under the front decks was a bit of a disaster, going to postpone any further painting until spring.

I bought my wife(Elaine) a "make your own jewelry" kit for Christmas. She got right to it and quickly churned out 40 pieces of bling by following some videos. When she opened the kit she said "He went to Orvis!"

Nice Jeff!!!
Re: Jeffs FS14 LS
Worked on the rod tubes this morning. Took a few iterations before I got the process a little wired so the port side isn't as clean as the starboard, but they'll work and will never be seen except in these photos.

Got some wiring done while watching indy give the game away. Luckily I'm a Pat's fan. Go Buffalo!

Re: Jeffs FS14 LS
Started the stern deck. I had a hard time determining how to locate the hatch openings and came up with this: I clamp 2 nails on the inside of each of the 4 hatch frame sides, with just about a steenth proud of the frame top. I then drop the deck panel down using pre-drilled alignment pins. I run a 25lb weight over the whole surface to ensure that each nail marks the panel, then I pull the panel off and quite literally connect the dots. It's simple, quick and accurate.
No idea how others are doing it but this is def working for me.

Re: Jeffs FS14 LS
Great idea!
Re: Jeffs FS14 LS
I can follow what you are describing, but then I see what looks like a pencil clamped to a piece of wood- how does that come into play?VT_Jeff wrote: ↑Sun Jan 17, 2021 4:46 pm I clamp 2 nails on the inside of each of the 4 hatch frame sides, with just about a steenth proud of the frame top.

That's a framing nail, 1 of 8 that will be used to mark the inside of each frame opening.pee wee wrote: ↑Mon Jan 18, 2021 8:49 amI can follow what you are describing, but then I see what looks like a pencil clamped to a piece of wood- how does that come into play?VT_Jeff wrote: ↑Sun Jan 17, 2021 4:46 pm I clamp 2 nails on the inside of each of the 4 hatch frame sides, with just about a steenth proud of the frame top.
