Getting on with some of the smaller jobs around the workshop while waiting for other things to arrive at the workshop

Polishing the brass bell for Chance before it goes off to the engravers to have her name put on the bell and the year Chance was built and later have the date when Chance goes back afloat.


Giving the locker lids off April Star their second coat of primer/undercoat before sanding them back and giving them the first of three coats of gloss.


Another small but necessary job to make up two new short aft of cabin deck beams for Mai Star II which will have to be jointed into the two uprights that make up the uprights for the companionway hatch boards 



The wood is part of an offcut from making the framework for the final frame in Chances' hull which when cut will be fitted in Chance as the start of rebuilding the transom and the rest of the back of chances' hull.


The locker lids having been painted and just need to dry before the next coat of paint is applied in the morning

The connecting part of the frame roughly cut out and just waiting to be trimmed and bevelled to fit the hull when it is bolted two the other two halves of the freame 

The other two sections waiting to be trimmed and bevelled like the connecting piece.
