GF16 In The PSL

It is a hard mistress. Be careful, soon you will just quit work and build boats like I did. Of course it is still work, but beats doing most things

Hmm, interesting thought. I can't say I haven't thought about it, need more practice though.
I did retire from one job after 27 1/2 years, but it seems the job market for 50 somethings is not good at all.

Fairing has begun.

Gee, no mucking around, you're straight into it!

Nice work Gary!

You have made huge progress. I went back to page one of your thread and am really amazed at how much you've done in 2 months. Your boat looks great!

[Noles309]

Thanks will.
I started sanding today. My finish expectations are dropping I'm afraid, might be a workboat after all, flat paint and all. I'll keep plugging away at it. Hopefully I'll figure it out and it will turn out ok.

Just be patient. What you've done so far looks great.

One tool that help me a lot was a DA sander. First level everything with the long board then use the DA to smooth the surface. Also don't confuse the DA sander with an palm orbital sander. They work the same way but the DA is more powerful.

Thanks stuff. I have an airhog of a DA that wants to kill my compressor. I also have an RO.

I got an electronic DA from Harbor Freight. It might die by the end of my build but it's doing a great job so far. I think i cost me less than $60. Also you be surprised of how much the high build up primer can cover so don't worry if is not perfect. I guarantee you that it will come out better than you expected.
