A long week and a half a tall boy.

So things have been happening. Work is changing, new boss stepping in, and a really busy month have kept me from getting a large chunk of the boat knocked out. But i have gotten some stuff done.
So who wants to play with epoxy for hours? This guy.

There is nothing quite like wrapping a boat in fiberglass cloth. It looks like a mummy, and like the Egyptian beliefs its quite trans-formative. At first it looks dingy and dull. All white with pins in it.


So now mix up the magic potion, build the tomb, wright the spells on the wall and tell Anubis Pharaoh has died and is starting his journey through the twelve gates of the night. At least for the kind of rebearth i am talking about here it doesn't involve pulling brains out of your nose with a pick or pickling organs, well maybe just one.


She looks good but Apep is close behind, damn snake stay off of my wet epoxy! Trim and repeat.


After a couple of hours and allot more work...


Far into the night, our traveler needs to bring the sun up so into the night we go, pump measure mix pour and spread, shit my wrist hurts.

Boat priests of the past keep Apep at bay dawn is near!!







Well made it to dawn Apep missed the mark and i managed to wet out more glass in one sitting than I ever have before. Now sanding, super.

**If you don't get the refrences in the above post you need to study up on your Egyptian mythology.**
