Greetings all, It has been awhile since I posted anything here on the progress of SV Sojourn.
Funny how life has other ideas for us while we are making plans. I seem to have become extremely busy with the fire dept. We have a new Chief and there are many changes being made. This includes extra responsibilities for some like me.
In addition it is wildland fire season here in USA. So being also on the Wildland team, this takes a lot of my time as well.
It seems Building SV Sojourn will be mostly a winter time project. I have not even began to build the shop yet. I hear and have read that the hardest part is actually getting started. Once that happens the rest just falls into place. I hope so.
Other than that, I have spent a little free time looking for bargains on tools. I know I hardly have what I need to do this project. I know I need lots of clamps so I found a few bargains on those.
I am making a list of must have tools for wooden boat building. I am sure many of you out there will have great suggestions and would be great to hear them.
As far as what else is going on in my life, Aside from the fire department and making sure My Dog Iris and newly acquired stray kitten are cared for...Nothing really exciting going on with me for now.
This will be a short post as I am really just checking in.
As always Fair winds and following seas,
Scotty

When life started getting in the way for me, I took an hour and created a list of 20 to 40 minute tasks for my boat build.
ReplyDeleteI keep this list handy because I can usually find 20 to 40 minutes even on the busiest of days. This way I feel like I'm getting something done.
One thing I've realized is that this is going to take quite a while to complete so I don't want life dictating my entire existence.
Good luck with your build Scotty.
Thanks Clipper, I will have to develop a strategy.
