Filleted bow compartment, planed flush deck joint,
 filled  screw holes

Today I finished up the fillet under the deck in bow compartment - I had to take a break from the monstrous overhead fillet job the previous day. I am in two minds to leave it as it is or to add a layer of glass - it can always wait as I made sure to leave good access.

then I planed the deck joint down, companionway bulkhead and also the cockpit coamings, and filled some screw holes in preparation for the round over of the sharp corners
 - all for the glassing  work to come, there are plenty more screws to fill  !!!!

and shop vacced the inside and outside and admired my work, 

 Deck is on

earlier today

 Bow deck, fillets, and a MC Escher stitch and glue sculpture

Today I glued the 2 bow deck pieces using a "Herb Payson" (think he was the "inventor") type fibreglass butt joint - I have never used one before but thought I would try it because it will actually butt against the central U beam in the bow compartment, so I am not worried about its strength or possible lack of strength, but what it should do is help with creating a fair curve which would have been difficult with 2 separate pieces (I used some offcuts as I have ideas for my remaining ply sheets)

then I finished up some fillets under the deck, and lightly sanded some from yesterdays work

and got to work on my MC Escher stitch and glue ply sculpture 😊😊😊😊😊😊

and got to drink a few beers - btw, that big chunk of stainless is for my rudder fittings
