Maintenance

Last evening other than epoxying the pivot holes in the centerboard case and centerboard. I cleaned up my mess and sharpened my tools. I don't have a fancy setup for sharpening. I have a medium oil stone and a fine oil stone. I found a cheap jig ($12) at a local hardware store for mounting my chisels and planer blades for proper angle when sharpening. It requires me to measure my blade distance from the end of the jig, but other than a few minutes to set up, it works fine. And my chisels have never been sharper.
Hopefully (time permitting) I'll mount the centercase, frames 3, 4, and 5. And the Transom this weekend.
