Oh, and I’m Back

I forgot to mention that I spent a couple of days away in the desert working on the lunar lander project. www.themarsoutpost.com. Recall it is a low impact tiny house built with boat building materials and techniques.
Latest, the lower floor bits bonded together with epoxy finally. Resting on main floor for now.  It will be inserted into the white bit behind it.  I do have to scramble a bit for the next month or two to stay ahead of the UV.  It has to get to primer as soon as possible.

Diamond Seaglaze

Last week I got to visit Alex’s 45′ KHSD catamaran up in Bellingham again. Alex always has useful tips on products. I will be posting pictures from the trip shortly. Meanwhile, it turns out that Diamond Sea Glaze marine window company has a kind of ongoing yardsale on the odd window. As Alex notes, “Here’s the link to Diamond Sea Glaze: http://diamondseaglaze.com/
Go to the products tab. They don’t call it ‘surplus’ or ‘overstock’ but ‘in stock'”

Uline

A company called Uline sells shipping supplies. www.uline.com
Among many things that boatbuilders might use, I found pallet covers on page 133. They are basically vacuum bags with only one side open. Only up to 5′ by 5′ or on the next page, 3-1/2′ by 12′ as sofa covers. Would speed up bagging small parts.
