Cleaning out workshop and getting boats in for repairs

The main problem is where to start with cleaning the old things you do not need any more

Got to start somewhere it might as well be the shelves and then that will make room on the floor for boats and the other equipment like bandsaws, table saws  and pillar drills and other heavy equipment. 

Two new larch boards to repair the clinker dinghy will have just got in for repair

An old GRP dinghy will have got in to restore 

The clinker dinghy which needs two new planks 

Life as come full circle doing the same job I was doing when I started boat building 40 years ago

Repairing a clinker dinghy simply to the type I helped repaired forty years ago 

Replacing two split planks 

The fun job of grinding off the roves on the plank lands so I can remove the planks and use them as spoil boards for the new planks   

All change in the workshop with a new set of project boats in for work to be done.

Three boats that at stages in the past have had bits of work done on them and now that one boat as gone there is room for these projects to be finished off under cover.

The Shetland Family Four now in the Workshop for its cabin linings to be fitted and then the windows, then the logos and then put up for sale.

The 8 ft dinghy mould and dinghy in the mould ready to come out and be fitted out and put up for sale then another can be moulded 

At long last the Mai-Star Class dinghy is at the workshop and ready to be finished off.

The Finesse is now out of the workshop to make room for other projects to get started on and other projects finished off
