Senior Project May 24 2022

 


Senior project day 13.  The last day of senior project, I can’t believe it has gone by this fast. Today was a good day's worth of work. I started at 8 in the morning, trying to finish gluing down the landing strip before my mentor showed up, so all we would have left would be shaping and gluing down the top panel.   the panel was a little tricky to glue down, but it went down nice.  After gluing the panel down, I was finished with the board for the day. Tomorrow I will need to do a little shaping, but it should all be down by tomorrow.

  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
