Bowsprit install.

Saturday, Feb 4th, I went out to Francis Levangie's and we used his big table saw to rip two lengths of mahagony 3/4" x 1 1/4" x 9' to be scarfed for the first length of rubrail for the starboard side. Notice the two pieces are already curved some. I chose a piece of board that was warped or curved already. When it was ripped on the table saw it seemed to curve more. This should help with the bending to the curve of the boat.  I also got a loan of his oscillating jig saw that cuts my mahagony well so I could cut the curves out for the trim pieces for the companionway hood and also for the hatch cover. Using a block plane to get these two pieces angles as the picture shows.




Now I have thrown out my back and am taking some days off!!
