That shop is SOO clean - - it would make me ill!!.
I have no idea how you do it Dan.
JayDee. [:(!]

i think dan cleans for an hour, builds for an hour, then cleans up for an hour? would make sense. i vacume once a week? does that count?

I think he does it with mirrors, you just can’t see the WHOLE thing. [:-batman]

Here is what I have been working on the last few days, instead of my boat.

Mock-up

I still need to do some finishing work, like running hoses and wiring etc.

I need to order a check valve before I can use the system, because I couldn?t find one locally. That?s the one thing that always t?s me off, I need to order a $10 part but it will cost me $20 because of shipping.

As to the cleanliness of my shop, I will let everyone in on my little secret.

My shop vac doubles as a leaf blower, I just blow all the saw dust out the garage door and then into the yard, it makes great fertilizer. It takes about 2 minutes to clean up. [:-eyebrows][:-eyebrows]

Not a bomb, a vacuum bagging system. The two PVC pipes are the vacuum reservoirs, so the pump doesn?t have to run constantly.

looks like a pipe bomb to me. but i dont know much about vacuum bags
still it might blow up

Here is a photo of my progress to date. I have cleaned the hull up a little, by trimming off the excess glass along the sheer. The inside of the hull has been waterproofed, and all the permanent stations have been filleted.

latest work

Just for fun, any guesses what I?m vacuum bagging?

bagged

I guess the deck?

Yep it?s the keel fin.

It?s a cedar core, with two layers of 5.6 oz. carbon on each side.

MY boat is coming closer to completion; here you can see the deck I just finished.

Radical took her maiden voyage today; unfortunately, the wind was only in the 0 to 1 knot range. I will be away on vacation starting tomorrow, but when I get back, hopefully the wind gods, will be a little nicer to me.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!
too bad I dont live close to you or it would have been a night in the pub!!!

cheers and again congrats
