Last bulkheads glued!

Two sessions in the garage with the son saw the pieces of wood cut, and an hour and a bit by myself later they are glued together.  Note to self: buy more clamps.. (No one has ever said that before)

With the sidearms glued to the bulkhead you get an impression of how big she will be, quite big actually. I'll try to build all small part before assembly, there won't be much room left on the garage after. 

Rudder fittings

Bought rudder fittings today. The 8mm pin apparently is for a 49er and prized there after.. Looked to good to not buy though. Altogether 1000 SEK (about $150), the small boat specific parts adds up to a substantial part of the whole cost for a goat. 

Oops!

This is not the right way to make the bevels on the transom!

The tiller

Used to be a mast...

Tiller and rudder box

Needed to feel that at least one part of the goat is finished so I planed the staves from the old mast and built the rudder box and tiller. Fun!

Recycling

Got 30 minutes to do a bit of boat building today. Ripped the broken bottom part of my old pram's mast into what will become the tiller of my goat. Feels good that some parts of the old boat will continue sailing even though the boat itself lies on the bottom of a lake in Dalsland. The rest of the mast will probably become the boom of the skiff.

Added some bevels

"I want to go to the garage and build a bit" my son told me today, and who am I to argue? Got two bulkheads beveled using my new Stanley nr 4. Somehow I seems to have lost my old one that used to be my grandfather's (that is probably a criminal offence, so don't tell anyone). Anyway, the new Stanley that everyone says is crap actually did well. It doesn't look as well made as the old ones and it probably isn't, but it's definitely up to the job.
