Some paulownia, a gift from the LA Wegener and some salvaged redwood I got for free off craigslist…
I guess this means I can surf a garage door.
Anywho…belt on my jointer/planer went south as I was finishing the thickness planing so I jointed an edge by hand.
now that all this lumber is cleaned up, it is ready to be ripped for the panels
panel one clamped and glued
panel two finished
the local houligan helped glue and clamp
I love your projects. Can’t wait to see how this one turns out.

Where’d you get all those tools??? Does the wife know?
…looking good…
Ray
she knows about the tools but thinks these are “shelfs”…
lol!
keep it on the low, alright?
Your garage is what I miss most about living in LA… that and 2ft backbreakers at el porto
it’s getting to be that time of year again…I think I’ll have the right arsenal for the park’s dredging summer conditions…no more big payouts to the ding repair guy this year (knock on wood).
making a template…lots of bumps to suss out.
laying it down
one of two
tail blocked
we’ve got some sanding to do tomorrow…
Nice, they look sweet.
I think I need a new shelf for the garage.
I have a nice smooth wood burner with several pens if you are interested.
Looking forward to more picts
Nice work!
Looking good. By the way, the midi simmons board is working unbelievable. I’ve got to get one of these. Been having a blast on it.
finished outline
belly and up rail in the nose
going flat through the first third
then introduce a concave in the center
that deepens out through the tail
I planed the slight roll on the deck side and the rolled chines on the bottom using my hand planes.
The concave was put in using my Power Pads…hard with low grit to really get in there and then soft with gradually finer grits to blend and smooth.
I kept a hard, flat edge that’s a little shy of 10cm from the tail to about 12" short of the nose where it begins to blend with the forward belly.
Well done. Great pics!
How thick is she?
real nice. the redwood looks gorgeous next to that paulownia.
Purdy nice shelving!
When do I get to play with all your toys?
I’m making two…
BYOFins
turned over for finishing to the master
putting on the lipstick
starting to pop
What are you finishing them with? What the dimensions turn out like?
varnish and then rubbing them out with 000 steel wool and some carnuba wax.
one is a little wider than the other…they are about 17" +/- at the wide point.
I had a chance to check out one of the alaias this weekend. BEAUTIFUL!
big thanks to you and Mrs. Pato as well as the rest of the crew for making it out.
I hope everyone got enough food, drink and fun out of the deal.
it was great seeing everyone.
