Charlie Jones Posted May 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2004 Then the framing for the forehatch, companionway and the kingplank are let into the beams [attachment over 4 years old deleted by admin] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Jones Posted May 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2004 Then the block plane and spoke shave goes to work cutting away every thing that doesn't belong- In other words - fairing the beams and carlin. Makes a LOT of shavings [attachment over 4 years old deleted by admin] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Jones Posted May 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2004 once the framework is all faired, time to get a couple coats of varnish on the wood. [attachment over 4 years old deleted by admin] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Hagan Posted May 2, 2004 Report Share Posted May 2, 2004 Travis has to be chomping at the bit! She's really looking like a boat now. Maybe in 20 years when I retire I'll build a Princess. Or I could win the lottery and just have you build me one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Nelson CS#35 Posted May 2, 2004 Report Share Posted May 2, 2004 Once I finish my current project, I am going to build a Princess 26. Your progress pictures and comments are an inspiration. I wish I could see a Princess 22 in the flesh...seems that there is just not enough room for a permanent galley and a wood stove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Jones Posted May 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 wanna see a happy grin? here's Travis, the boat owner trying out the foreward hatch for size. Joe- I'd have to say that -no- the 22 does not have room for a permanent galley and a wood stove. This 22, as most boats that size, wouldn't do well with a permanent built in galley. Would be a great space waster on a boat this size. The 26 might fit those requirements. That's into the size range where you have enough room for stuff like that. Talk to Graham about it.

Scott Dunsworth Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 Charlie do you coat all of the cabin and deck beams in epoxy or do you just put your chosen finish on them? I really can't see any reason to epoxy the interior trim. Am I all wet here? Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Jones Posted May 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 Scot- I coat all the cabin top plywood inside, but the mahogany beams and trim is NOT coated- I'm just laying on 4 coats of Z-Spar 2015 on that part. I'll be taping off where the beams land on the underside of the cabin top plywood so I can finish that completely before installation. Goes MUCH faster that way, rather than trying to cut around all the beams without getting white paint every where. I can tape off the edges of the beams and on the plywood to keep glue off too.
