Today, I'm gonna epoxy bond some internals to the front and side panels of the faceframe so I can screw the top front n back. See if I can maybe work on bending the top back some. It had 2mm of warp this summer and I got it out, but it took a couple of weeks.
But I will press on for sure here. I can work on adding cleats for the drop table today as well.
Back is not good. My left hip is the culprit methinks. It is failing some... very unsettling because I have lots to do to move to Texas..

After all the time and money you have put into the boat I am sure hoping your body lets you enjoy it.

Re: Woods Skoota 32DM
Thanks David. It is always nice that strangers or mostly strangers, even whom I may have poed, show genuine concern.
My left hip is not grinding, but hurts a lot, and it prpbably has severe labrum damage and will fail within the next few years. But it is a slow and painful process. I will schedule another shot of corticosteroids soon. But the shot is really painful torture and the pain I have daily is like a 4 at the end of the day and the shot is like 5 seconds of pain at about 8, so I dread the injections. The back starts to get crooked now and then from favoring the hip and then I can't do squat. All of this is from making way too many miles in my youth at work and play hunting birds and probably some family genetics.

Today, I didn't get the countertop epoxied. I worked on the cleats for the tabletop. Had to make the stock, clear the benches off, etc. good chance tomorrow will be a better day
Re: Woods Skoota 32DM
Sorry to hear of hip/back issues. No personal experience but on an optimistic note I'll mention my neighbor/friend. 72 yrs old, has in years past repaced both hips and one shoulder. Walks a mile or two a day, twice weekly yoga and aerobics. Active and busy in the community. You wouldn't know of surgeries to see him or take that morning walk with him.
