Cabin sides

 Two days of work, not full time, granted, but still... The cabin sides are in. Everything got shaped, beveled and prepped for gluing. That is where most of the time had gone into.

The plywood panels are not quite long enough, but only a small additional piece needs to be fitted, maybe 10cm. Originally I was thinking about scarfing it in, but since i'm running out of time I did not. It's such a small piece, it will be fine, it does not even have to be butted, it fully fits in the area closed by the joining beams.


I really did go to town with my belt sander on this one. 80 grit belt rips through wood really quickly, but the scars will heal under a layer of fairing compound.


Tomorrow: put in final stainless fasteners and do some fairing and filling of the screw holes. Maybe finally some cleanup inside.
