I do stuff like that, what I call "Dougstering". It's one perfectly valid, if taxing at times, way of getting things done.

Re: No Excuse
I think you got them hooked on sanding!

I was told once that all you need to build these boats powertool wise is a jigsaw and drill. I disagree, the Grinder gets a lot of use as well.

Re: No Excuse
I started putting my power tools in a tote so it is easier to remove them from the boat.
With those young hands, they should be introduced to the sanding boards and that much icing.

AFTER they finish sanding all of that off, I bet the next layer will be much thinner.

Pretty sure they are not the ones buying the stuff!
There are only two seasons in Vermont: boating season, and boat-building season.

Re: No Excuse
Wish them luck! I'm 10 hours north of them and they are priming today and tomorrow! I keep thinking it will be better than when we got it from Tom... I'll post pics if they send them.

2 coats of primer. They're going for at least three.
