[bolger] AF2/trailer update
Welded up 6 additional feet of boat trailer over the weekend, along with
a nice post to put the winch on. I'm working on the bunks now, laminated
up a 2x12 out of plywood 'cuz I'm concerned with the cross grain strengh
of dimensional lumber. Used the last of the weldwood, mainly as an
experiment, and because I'm almost out of Tightbond.
With any luck I can cut a hole in the shop wall this weekend and have
floor space again!
I'm considering making the mast hollow, using birdmouths. With the
quality of lumber around here, I'm going to wind up laminating one
anyway, not very much more work for hollow. Comments?
