Boom finished




 The gluing worked well on the boom. Cut it to 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 with the table saw. Planed it down to 2 1/4 x 2 1/4.  Cut it to 142” long. Trimmed the last 15” down to 1 1/2”. That makes a nice tapered end on the aft end. Then routered  over the edges  

Then wood is still wet so going to let it dry out for a week before varnishing. 

That was the last construction piece for the pocketship. Now to flip her and Fiberglas the bottom.

Waterline struck and first coat.

 Figured out how to strike the waterline with the laser level. I just didn’t have the laser level back far enough Then got the first coat done and it looks good so far.  Pettit EZPoxy Electric Sapphire blue with additive. Using roll and tip.
