Craig Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 I like the spray method myself; however, it takes longer to clean the gun than do the work. Most of my varnish jobs are quite small or somewhere I can't stand the overspray. 8) Quote

Mostly I agree with you, but cleaning the gun after spraying (on this job) was a piece of cake. Quote
capt jake Posted March 11, 2007 Author Posted March 11, 2007 Kind of ironic today. I finished the boat (all except mounting the engine and putting it on the trailer) after installing the SS rubrail. Today is exactly 6 months since I began. Ironic. Quote
Craig Posted March 11, 2007 Posted March 11, 2007 She sure looks sharp Jake! Nice project and it didn't take three years 8) Quote
Guest Oyster Posted March 11, 2007 Posted March 11, 2007 Finished photos on the water makes a boat finished. Finished boat, what an oxymoron. Is a boat ever finished? :wink: Its like a commencment cerimony. Its just the beginning. Quote

If the weather clears this week, I might get a few pictures, but it won't be in the water untill at least April. Quote
Hirilonde Posted March 11, 2007 Posted March 11, 2007 "A boat is finished when it sinks" That's why none of my boats will ever be finished if I can help it Quote
capt jake Posted March 12, 2007 Author Posted March 12, 2007 A few shots of the glass. I ended up using the rubber quarter round and brass pins. Turned out fine. The wooden retainers would have taken a long time to mock up and get to fit as none of the windows were the same. I ended up taking one piece of glass back to the shop twice to get it ground down a bit. Note the manual wipers (original). Quote
Frank Hagan Posted March 12, 2007 Posted March 12, 2007 Lots of guys there admiring the boat now that its finished. Where were they when you were sanding? Quote

They always show after I am done for the day. Or, they always have something 'more important' to do. LOL I should add that I had another vistor today. It was Gig Harbor Joel! He was also too late to sand. :roll: Quote
