Senior Project May 13th

 Day 5 of senior project. I'm still a little sick but definitely better. Today was also a pretty productive day. I started my day off at nine by doing the same thing as I did yesterday, reading the manual. After reading the manual, I decided not to do the next couple of steps in the book but instead made the top panel which is the same thing I did yesterday.  After creating the top board, I took the frame pieces out of the wood they were cut out from.  When I finished up with that, it was about time to leave for baseball. Tonight was senior night. Unfortunately, we didn’t come out with the win, but it was a hard-fought game.

  Day 7 of senior project.  Today was a really effective day of work. I started today's work by gluing small strips of wood to the keel to help make it straight. After that, I spent a couple of hours setting up strongbacks to put over the ribs to help seal everything together when I glued up the whole board. When I finished creating the strongbacks, I headed off to baseball. After baseball, I headed back home to glue up the frame. I spent from 7:30 at night to 1 in the morning gluing the board up and attaching the strong backs hours: 10.5 total hours: 35.5

  Day 4 of senior project. I'm feeling a lot better today. Hopefully, by tomorrow I will feel up to going to baseball. Today was probably the most productive day I have had for my board.  The morning started as usual with me reading the manual for the upcoming day's work. After that, I went out and bought some pipe clamps because on today's agenda was to glue the bottom of the board together. After buying the pipe clamps, I taped all the seems up to prevent the glue from leaking onto the floor and proceeded to glue up all the joints. By the time I was done gluing the joint up, it was 4 o’clock, and I needed to let the glue set for an hour, so I called the day there. Hours: 5 Total hours: 13

  Day 9 of senior project. Today wasn’t a productive day at all. The majority of my day was spent cleaning glue and re-shaping the board. Re-shaping the board took me a while because I had to do it by hand with a draw knife. A jig saw wouldn’t be accurate enough and sander way too slow. After I finished cleaning up excess glue, it was 2:30, and it was time to leave and go to baseball practice. Baseball practice today was a bunch of fun we ended up playing basketball for the whole practice. After practice, I went to the play, which was better than expected. hour 5 total:43.5
