Final coats and running gear repairs



Dr Doug has the one log sleeved. Tomorrow he will fair this side and sleeve the second log.

The solution to getting 2" fiberglass tube to slide inside a 2 1/8 copper log was to take a slice out of the one side with a circular saw, enabling the tube to be squeezed together as it was slipped in. Lots of epoxy was used to seal the tube to the copper, the excess is easy to sand fair.


With 7 coats of gloss varnish now applied to the interior cabinetry and the colour is glowing in the rich light mahogany stain.

With the return of the upholstery she should be looking factory fresh, inside and out
