Todays update.

The lady is not ready for her dress yet. I am still busy putting the last perfection to her bone structure, but the day will come soon.
On thursday this week I will order the Blata 40 plus exhaust. If it's in stock I should have it in about 8 to 10 days.
A test-bench vill be made ready.
Oh man! Can you imagine how much I look forward to run this machine for the first time!

Well. Off to the workshop now. I'll be back.

Cheers!

Woodie.

Did I detect a little bit of excitement in your words? Hang in there Woodie!!!!

Hi Isuzu.

This build is like high quality slow-food in a fancy restaurant. You take your time to enjoy, and never rush it.
But right now I consider eating VERY fast!
Just serve me a Double Whopper!

Cheers!

Woodie.

Now Woodie don't be a guts, savour the meal and you will enjoy it more that way so no mistakes are made.

I have to agree with Moffy on this one...It WILL get done, just make sure it turns out the way you want it!!!

I hear you guys. Thanks.
I'm back to "slow food" and enjoying every detail and flavour.
No reason to rush, as long as the water is all "stiff"
Anyway things are evolving, and soon I will bring new pics for you.

Cheers!

Woodie.

Hi Woodie,
Thats the way, take your time. The water will be there long after we've gone.

Hey Woodie, we don't have a "stiff" ice problem here, but food for thought... Airboat with teflon skid plate To drive when the water is stiff!!!!

Here is a little follow-up pic.
The front spants has been raised to shape the clamshell deck, and a center board has been glued into the middle of the front spants.
The aft spants has been cut open and shaped to fit the frame, that later will support the canopy. Frame is glued in place, and now I wait for the glue to dry properly.
Total weight as shown on the picture is precisely 2200 grams. (Without the beer can, that is)
The beer on the pic is my favourite "Ceres Royal "Blue" Export". The dark blue colour of the can is just about the deep royal blue, I plan to put on the boat.

Cheers!

Woodie.

Thats some beautiful work Woodie!
