More glue up

27 April 2015

Gluing up the outer stem from two true 1x4 Philippine mahogany.  Probably $50 or more of wood.  I wanted something extra hard facing the world.  A brass half round will go on the outside.  I also scarfed the two guards.  They are one and a half wide by 7/8 thick and at this point about a foot longer than the boat.  A little clean up and a cut to length and they will be ready to attach.

I used this little Dremel saw to cut all the quarter inch (6 mm) pieces.  I liked the weight and ability to see the lines I had laid out.  I am sure I will use it a lot in the future.

A vase I threw and glazed (random pic).
