 Yesterday I went to town and got three yards of sandpaper This one's 36 grit and I have a 60 and a hundred over there and 36 is real gritty. I want to take these Edges down a lot Like I want I want all of these edges maybe We'll see about up here, but I generally speaking want these edges to be to be Round enough that I could get a paint roller in there So that'll make it easier to do the fiberglass So the same thing with these, you know, I just want to increase the radius of the curves on all that So and then I also want to knock down this This ridge if you look from the end here You can see this ridge goes down in the middle and then back up So I want to knock it Down a little kind of make it a little smoother through here however There's another thing I want to do which is put like kind of a What do you call it For a kind of a I don't even know what to call this like a ridge along here So that when the kayak is the right direction any water that comes into the kayak will obviously go You know down to these ridges, but I want it to end up Coming in the middle, but I don't want you to sit in it. Obviously, so you'll sit on this part But then this part will will you know come down So the water can get there and I want that to be wide enough that you can get a Scoop to dump out any water. I think that would be a nice feat. So that way when it's flipped over the right way, it'll be kind of like You know But kind of like that So, you know, you sit your butt here and then any water will flow through that middle channel and you scoop that out Easily and it's not gonna get on you. You know soggy bottom the whole time Not sure how I'm making that part yet Now, let me get everything else sanded and then I'll do that. It's probably gonna be wood Maybe a piece of PVC pipe cut to fit. I don't know. We'll see. Let me get everything else sanded first It's funny to think that it's it's March right now. So where I used to live it's like Probably snowy right now. It's so hot right here It's been sunny for days, which is good because you know, I can work on floorboards, you know Solar-powered lumber mill and planar and all that Yeah, it's just really hot But still comfortable with no shirt on but it better not get any hotter because I don't have anything else I can take off. Well, I can take off my shorts. I'm gonna run around naked All right camera battery died and while I was charging it. I did get some sanding done This is looking mighty good man. Sanding is boring and arduous, but Yeah, there's like nothing that beats sanding for getting nice Curves on things. Then I took a break to make a pizza oven door For a pizza place new here. It's not for not for me. I don't have a pizza oven yet But there's a pizza place not too far away Oh, and now back to a Sunday I want there to be a all like a pretty much vertical part At the top edge of this because that's where the top is gonna overlap on this Where they join No, I'm to come in like this love to put a fan on right now, but then sawdust would be everywhere. All right halfway done There's no way I'm getting the other half done with my arms today Well, I feel like my arms are about to fall off. So either It's like 2 30 in the afternoon. I can go do something else. I might have something All right, I got this crazy thing, right? I don't use it very often because it has this Velcro, you know, why why don't they still have the cool things where it just has it the Clippy in things. You just take some sandpaper and clip it in now. You're gonna buy these stupid velcro things Well, I'm not gonna buy any stupid velcro things first because I don't even know where I'd get them Whatever I'm not doing. All right. I got a piece of cloth Pretty fuzzy should stick to Velcro and I Contact cemented a piece of sandpaper onto it I'm thinking I can pull this off after but it should stick well enough You know the contact cement I put it on here. I'm put it on both pieces. Let them basically dry and stuck them together anyway This Nick Good enough Maybe No, Jamie you're crazy you could have been doing that from the beginning. Yeah, but then I wouldn't get the muscles, dudes All right, I'll just get back to work. Oh Second half of pack. I'm actually a little bit past half Yeah, the other piece of sandpaper came off Chunk of my cloth out put a little less glue on that one. Well, it's tomorrow and Things are looking pretty good bit more sanding to do at least with the rough sanding I still have to go through, you know all The fine detail sanding, but I want to get all the rough sanding done You know basically all you get everything shaped right and then fill in any little spots with a bit more spackle and then hopefully I can You know do the do all the final sanding All right. I only took about 10 minutes. There's just a little bit left down there I didn't get yesterday So I think the main shaping is done. I think that looks pretty good The biggest thing about all these corners is that when I have the mold I'm gonna have to get fiberglass into those Corners, so I want to make sure they're pretty rounded now. I can't fit a paint roller in there, but I Think it's pretty good So the last part I want to do in terms of the shape is just Along that ridge down in the middle there. Yeah, so Pretty much want to fill in that space there With a little little hill Yeah, all right, there you go. Just cut that line. No problem. All right It's not the worst starting point That's the basic gist it's gonna need some sanding and some spackle obviously, but That's pretty much it. All right, it's glued and screwed in there. You got three screws And I have to wait for the glue to dry before I really start sanding it So maybe I'll just spackle it right now Do these like little fillety edges here? Fill in the screw holes cool, man My hammer and my thing here just holding down the ends to make sure they stick down the glue All right, I guess I have to go away and do something else now. Oh, you know what? That's giant. Maybe I should do all the rest of the spackling You have to spackle around some screws and in this edge. I want this edge to be really 90 degrees alized here and Not because I want a 90 degree Angle on the final kayak, but I want I want this to come down Have a little flat spot here That the top can can attach to when I do the top part I'll round this But I'll make sure there's a flat spot below that So anyway, it'll make sense later All right Let's do final spackle. Hopefully final spackle fingers crossed Oh, and I went to the store and got some spackle, whatever this garbage is Because I was thinking it's going to be smoother than my spackle, which is just like a bucket of Basically sawdust and garbage mixed with glue. However, my sawdust mixed with garbage did a really good job. Look at that Like a very little gappage Maybe a few little Well, it's pretty pretty solid Anyway I got this might as well use it. All right spackle. I don't think that'll work I think that's looking mighty good Just need to let that spackle Cure for I don't know Day or two. I don't know Anyway, I have other things to do so I'm gonna shut up and go do them. We like that
