It's hard to imagine how much has happened and how much I've learned in just a little over a month at NWSWB. It was nice to get back into the shop after a long week of drafting. I finished up my toolbox today; it's on to half models next week, and then lofting! Lofting is drawing the lines for a boat full size on the shop floor (which is much easier done with an understanding of a drafted lines drawing of a boat). We should be building skiffs within the next couple weeks, which will take us all the way to Winter break.
I had a rare opportunity to work on a Bristol Bay gill netter on Wednesday. A rainy forecast called for extra hands to stretch canvas over the deck, and I got to fasten the seams with shop made copper nails. They will eventually turn greenish and give a nice traditional look and a contrasting detail to the white canvas deck.
Here are a few random photos around the school over the past few weeks:
