Second Day --- After Action Report

All,

As you are aware the builders were back to the grind yesterday evening.  Especially David who operated the grinder with flawless fashion all evening.

It was a tough night working with the iron wood locust beams. Tim masterfully cut the 2 rear transom locust post out of 6x6 beams…no easy feat. But most impressively Tim and I masterfully cut the 54.5 deg bow beam. We are investigating the curing temps required for 3m 5200 adhesive. If warm temps are required we may have to create a MacGyver style tent to heat around the boat for proper curing.

Safety concerns:

We should bring some safety glasses next week.

We should bring dust masks.    I have been picking golf ball size boogers out of my nose made of locust dust and coughing nasty stuff up.

That is all for now…..bring more clamps if you have them.

Good report. I strongly agree with dust mask and eye protection
 
My sinuses are in an uproar and my eyes are irritated today
 
Success does come with a cost
 
I have ordered some clamps, hopefully they will arrive soon
