The newly scarfed beam is in. Replaced the temporary fasteners in the cockpit with stainless ones, all bedded with epoxy. Did some trimming there as well. Rounded over some corners with a rounding router bit. Small stuff. But still time consuming. Tired now.
Tomorrow I'll let the resin set on the cabin top and start laminating the two missing arched deck beams. Maybe start preparing the compression post and it's support. Add bracing for the cockpit floor.
Cutting slots for the beam, piece of cake after the many a slot I screwed up during previous stages. Still not perfect, but good enough:
And yes, I did cut too deep in places:
The clamps secure the fragile scarf, it only had 1 day to cure at low temperatures, so I don't fully trust it yet.
The shape of the deck is starting to be visible.
genoeg. tot morgen.
