Deck Frame Glued [Pic]

Epoxy fillets aren't interesting enough for video anymore, so I won't subject you to a minute and a half of lame music and my ass crack sticking up in the air (you're welcome)...  but since I still want credit for a hard night of gluing the deck frame in place, here's a picture.

Yes, I know it doesn't look any different, just roll with it, ok?

Deck Frame Drilled and Stitched

I've had just about enough of drilling and cable-tieing, thank God the deck frame is the last stitched-and-glued component!

Deck Components Cut and Layed

The belt drive is on hold due to a problem with the timing belt pulleys I ordered, so I'm switching back to hull construction for the moment.  Last weekend I cut the deck components and today I layed them out.

More Belt Box Progress

Today I made a few new parts for the gear box (belt box, actually) and then assembled the halves of the case and installed the shafts and bearings.

Oh, and Happy New Year!

Gearbox Progress

I'm back in the game after a hellish two weeks due to the end of the semester! Today I finish half of the gear (er, belt) box.

[Editorial: Is it really too much to ask to be able to buy a Santa hat to wear in one's nerdy video blog? Its the middle of flipping December, how on Earth could there not be a single Santa hat at Target or Walmart?!?!]
