This week was spent ordering wood for the ribs and frames for Mai Star II. These days trying to get good quality green oak at a reasonable price in difficult as many of the timber merchants are no longer around. Also to many tree surgery people cut the logs into small unusable sizes for boat building.
I do have enough nails to re-nail the ribs however, I may have to buy a number of long nails to go through the frames and some very long nails to go through both the frames and the beam shelf.
Because of the very hot weather it is impossible to work out in the sun for long without needing to get undercover. So I am not doing any work on the boat until the temperature drops a lot and makes working out on the boat bearable. So its back to the workshop and making different plans for other work on the yacht restoration. May be cut some wood to make some of the deck beams that need replacing.
