Bulkheads cut

Progress has been surprisingly slow due to other commitments. Photo shoots at two races pretty well shot the Labor Day weekend and this weekend. Still, it was fun being on the water - even if it was in my slow boat.

The workbench is now cleared of most extraneous junk from previous projects, and the stabilizers have made their way to it.

I spent way too much time tonight cutting the 6 blocks of foam to be used as bulkheads. There was a foam beam left over from a previous boat project that was perfect for the two bulkheads near either end. Unfortunately, it was mostly just a smidgeon too narrow for the central bulkhead, except for a couple of short sections here and there. I managed to mess up a few of the pieces, sanding them just a bit too much on the disc sander. After a bit more care two central bulkhead pieces were finally produced. Sigh...
