I'll keep the garage warm all the time, it's no problem at all (heating, electricity and water is included in the rent). The motorbikes have never complained about it being slightly cold at floor level, so I have never got any reason to see if it was possible to adjust the temperature.
I checked yesterday and the temperature in the garage was comfortable and the glue had set as it should, so everything is good.

Hi Pontus ... just try to collect all the gluing together so you can do that bit last and walk out!

Mik,
That's the way I have to do it, no room to do two things in parallel...

Hi all,
There will be more posts later about my swift progress (with pictures), or at least that's the plan. For now the building is on halt. We will move to a new apartment later this month (hooray!), so the garage space is much needed as temporary storage. I'll work hard to get those boxes out of the garage as quickly as possible, I have a feeling there might be a risk of making the situation semi-permanent if I'm not on my toes, but at least there will be no boat building in February.

Yet another GIS, this time a Swedish one
My last post in this thread was about there not being any building done during February. Now it's February again, and I am pleased to announce that it indeed have been a bit of building going on this February at least. Moving to a new apartment (lots of painting etc.) and taking care of the little baby boy that was borne last spring have used up most of my time. Two bulkheads and the transom is now framed, glued, and ready for bevelling. In retrospect, buying sawn timber and planing it myself using granddad's old handplane wasn't the fastest way, but planing is sure fun!ImageUploadedByTapatalk1361127682.404160.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1361127699.581194.jpg

Re: Yet another GIS, this time a Swedish one
I, too, used my grandfather's old hand tools when building my Goat. I wouldn't have wanted to do it any other way.

Planing is fun. Planing with grandfather's tools: priceless.

Pull saw
Pontas, On your blog, it looks like you are using the pull saw to cut plywood which I had never considered before. Does it do a great job? Glad to see you are making progress. I'm still mulling around, but intend to jump in soon. Average outdoor temp right now is around 0 C and I have a meter of snow on the ground in every direction so not a lot I can do right now. I'm thinking of getting the plywood and WRC and trying to cut out the parts and be ready for assembly when the weather get better. Any more progress to report?

A pull saw is just the right tool for cutting ply. I own a professional grade scroll saw, but the pull saw is quieter and I find I can cut closer to the line, leaving less to trim.

Pull saw
Just shows you how important it is to be connected with other builders and those interested. Something to learn every day that makes things easier.

I agree about the pull saw for the smaller pieces -- bulkheads and such -- and for cross-cutting the cedar bits. I think it's an essential tool. But for the big pieces of plywood -- sides, bottom, seats -- I prefered to use a circular saw. I put in a blade with very tiny teeth and set it so that it just barely went through the plywood. This allowed cutting quickly while following the curves. I could stay just 2 - 3mm outside the lines. A very sharp block plane took off those last 2mm with just a few strokes.

pull saw
Thanks Paulie, I need all the help I can get. Since they make a plywood blade with very fine teeth, that looks like the ticket.
By the way, I have the other ten thumbs you are missing!
