Sanding Inside of Boat

Today me and Harison were sanding the inside of the boat.
Sanding glue takes alot of time, so to make sure you dont waste 2 much time on sanding you have to clean up after yourself when glueing.

We were useing 60 grit paper for the sanding, and we were sanding with the grain of the wood. Sanding the bottom took around 2 hours work ( beacause we didnt clean the clue up very well when glueing ).

I had some problems while sanding around the stem because i couldnt get the sanding paper inside the gaps next to the stem. i fixed the problem by attaching a small sanding paper on a peace of wood which will fit.

Wednesday we were sanding the bottom of the boat and the skegs ready to turn over the boat. Chris give us some tips on how to hold the sanding blocks in order not to make dammage for the wood.
The tips he give us were:
1: sand with the grain darection
2: makesure the blocks that have the sanding paper are clean and dont have any lumps on them.
3: how to hold the sanding paper so sand the skegs without dammageing the bottom.

The sanding of the skegs and the bottom took us about 1 hour +,
I also found out that sanding glue takes long time, so for next time were glueing we have to clean up the glue before it gets dry.

Sanding The Bottom and the Transom

Today me and Taz have been sending the Bottom of the boat.
Before you start sanding make sure the table that your work is on is CLEAN! and no way to damage your work. 
In order to get an successful sanding you have to sand with the direction of the grain, other ways you would get scratch marks on you wood, also make sure you use a block of wood with an sand paper on it to keep it leveled and straight so there wont be any bumps. For eg: if your sanding with the sand paper in your hands( without block of wood) the gaps on your fingers would make it hard to get it leveled.
