back in business

Things have settled. The Olympics are over and I don't feel obliged to watch Canada win gold. It was stressful wondering if work would get slammed any day but it was also exciting to be in the middle of the Olympic buzz. Now back to boat building. I went out today and picked up the planner and beveled the top edge of the plank to prepare it for the overlapping plank above. It was very satisfactory, the sound of the blade peeling the wood, the plank taking shape, the shavings falling at my feet. This is going to be a very rewarding project. Maybe by the end of the weekend the planking will be done. we'll see.
