Last night I installed the doublers for the aka connectives in the second ama.  Also, I made the deck beams and and frame for the round inspection hatch.  Those will go in today - God willing and we don't freeze to death.

Time was limited but I was able to make one more piece for the akas.  But there is a lot left to do.  There are 8 side pieces with 7 already shaped.  I had to reject one 1x6 board because it was twisted.  I'll make the last side piece after buying new stock.  There are 8 top/bottom pieces with 2 partially made.  There are 8 end plugs with none made.  There are 8 compression plugs with none made.  Of course all those pieces have to be assembled into akas and then laminated with glass.  My wife says I won't make it.

I need a boat trailer.

I lose my shop on Feb. 28.

Good thing a weekend is here.  Sixteen to twenty hour days should go a long way toward getting her done.
