If its not a challenge or if its what "most" people would do then I feel less inclined to do it. I think thats maybe why it was so easy for me to get into sailing. I like a challenge as long as it makes sense. Having a worth while product when its all said and done, and being able to enjoy that for years to come makes sense. I also think a lot about how there are people out there who have these thoughts and dreams of someday doing this or that or building a boat or whatever. Yet, life goes on and maybe they aren't able to get around to those dreams. I think for me being younger the idea is that these kinds of activities are for when your older or retired, when you have more time. But I like thinking, why wait! Lets go! Just do it! So, It's two degrees Celsius (36 F) Its raining, you don't have a shop, your renting an apartment, How do you build a boat in this situation? Perseverance. Good landlords. Amazing girlfriend and be willing to work in less then ideal conditions.

Light sighted down the cut line to allow me to see
the pencil mark easier.
Without the flash!
Here is a shot of the built in blower on the jig saw
doing a good job of keeping my line of sight clear.
This is how we do epoxy work when its only two
degrees Celsius outside! I'm using West System
epoxy, cuz thats what I have used in the past. I haven't
used filler before though. The 406 Colloidal Silica by west
system is what I have chosen for filler. It thickens
the epoxy nicely. One nice side effect is that the squeeze
out doesn't drip and run as much.
No, its not a space ship. The plastic sheeting and the
lamp under keeps it above ten degrees celcius, more
then enough for the epoxy to cure.
