Holey boat!
We made the cuts with a metal cutting skillsaw... It works great!! Very fast, just like cutting plywood! The saw is $99 at Harbor Freight. I managed to damage some of the carbides on the blade somehow, so I had to get a new one for our friends on Petit Lois. (previous post)
Blayde scaling the anchor locker, Valin standing safety watch. I'm chipping rust. (imagine that!)
Today we cut out the damaged metal in the anchor locker. Tomorrow we will finish removing any scale, and sandblast / paint the rest of the anchor locker. Then we will fit new panels, weld them in place, and touch up with the sandblaster and repaint. Five coats for the anchor locker, a persistent problem area. After the epoxy paint, I'm thinking of maybe spray in bed liner for a cushioning lining... we'll see what we come up with.
In all, it was a very productive day. It feels good to get some work done for once!
