Templates

The task now is finishing off the templates for cutting the Treadmaster.

Amongst other things it killed off my aging Black and Decker jigsaw. It had done maybe 20 years service so it doesn't really owe me anything!

You can see now three parts in progress at the same time: the finished laid Treadmaster on the saloon cabin roof (doesn't look great as its covered with plastic to protect it), MDF templates for cutting Treadmaster and the filled and sanded epoxy deck.

The stern cabin roof will also be covered with Treadmaster. The templates fitted correctly. The dorade will be changed to a solar vent instead.

The engine will not be ready for Tuesday so we have backed off on that, but Ken came down to check out the thermostat.

'Where are the side cutters?'

Nobody knew... so this was the answer.

No, actually it was posed photograph. These are our new bolt cutters. We hope we never have to use them. They are generally used as a safety tool if the boat has a knock down and the mast breaks and you have to cut away the stays.
