Griff: A Vintage Moth Boat: Almost there
http://griffavintagemothboat.blogspot.com/2014/05/almost-there.html
Griff: A Vintage Moth Boat. Tuesday, May 6, 2014. Between the Alberg, the Shelley, and Griff, I'm spread thin. I got more sticks on Griff but I ran out of staples and glue. Looks like it will take one more stick of cedar from Lowe's to finish the deck. The sticks standing up are acting as wedges. That's where I ran out of staples. Note to self: Don't put your finger right under where you shoot the staple in. It makes for little dots of blood all over the wood. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Griff: A Vintage Moth Boat. Monday, April 28, 2014. One half of the deck. The rest of the port side went on with out a hitch. Tape is a good clamp. Got other projects for the rest of the week so the other side will have to wait for a few days. Sunday, April 27, 2014. Saturday, April 5, 2014. Tuesday, April 1, 2014. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Griff: A Vintage Moth Boat: Ready for sandpaper
http://griffavintagemothboat.blogspot.com/2014/05/ready-for-sandpaper.html
Griff: A Vintage Moth Boat. Tuesday, May 13, 2014. I got all the staples out. There are several moments when building a stripper that are satisfying. Two of them are when you get all the strips in place, the other is when you get all the staples out. I used a box and a half. That's over 1500 staples. We'll get to sanding next week.

Griff: A Vintage Moth Boat: March 2014
http://griffavintagemothboat.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Griff: A Vintage Moth Boat. Monday, March 31, 2014. Sunday, March 30, 2014. I got the face coaming installed using the old school way. I used glue and screws. I think this method is more appropriate for this boat than epoxy. Also found a tiller. It was attached to an old weather beaten rudder that came with the boat. It cleaned up well. Saturday, March 29, 2014. Saturday, March 22, 2014. This is the rudder I'm going to use. I wonder how much flack I'll take since it's not a barn door rudder like. Finally...

Griff: A Vintage Moth Boat: Stripping is done
http://griffavintagemothboat.blogspot.com/2014/05/stripping-is-done.html
Griff: A Vintage Moth Boat. Friday, May 9, 2014. I finished up with the strips. Now the hard work starts. Getting all those staples out. I used a box and a half. Each box holds 1250 staples. We used 5 1x6x8 cedar boards. I cut the strips about 3/16 inch. I got about 19 stripes from each board. I got 7 left over. You do the math! After the staples I'll use the router with a straight cutting blade to trim the overhangs. Then sanding. This is what they do around here for fun. Aussie scow Moth pix discovered.

Griff: A Vintage Moth Boat: Staples
http://griffavintagemothboat.blogspot.com/2014/05/staples.html
Griff: A Vintage Moth Boat. Saturday, May 10, 2014. It's going to take me a year to get all the staples out! I'm just going to plod along with it. I trimmed off the excess wood and it actually looks like a boat. I also found a new feature on my camera. I kind of knew it was there but I never tried it. Doesn't work here so someone let me know if it works out there. supposed to be a video file. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Aussie scow Moth pix discovered. John Shelley's Moth Boat.

Griff: A Vintage Moth Boat: January 2014
http://griffavintagemothboat.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Griff: A Vintage Moth Boat. Sunday, January 26, 2014. It's too cold to work! I was in the shed with coat, gloves and whatever. Temp here is still below freezing and I'm just not up for that anymore. We had more snow yesterday. Hands So we need to make all new deck frames from # 4 back. The first 3 appear to be ok. That has been my observation on the other vintage boats I've done. The fwd 2 or 3 frames usually are in good shape. The pile of frames I have to work with. Friday, January 24, 2014. Right after...
