We spent more time and money on the shed than was in our initial estimate, but doing so has enabled us to take on other projects and end the end will ensure a faster and higher quality build. Not having forced air heat helps a lot when we need to cut down on the dust. The radiant floor heat has been a really great system. One day I plan to put up a video of our shed building process. We did all that ourselves as well.
Great progress guys! Many thanks to the "support crew" I'm sure. I like your attention to detail. Accuracy, particularly with the strong back, is critical as you clearly realise. Keep up the good work. Cheers
A long time ago, I read the Gougeon brothers Epoxy book. they emphasised lofting. Get your setup perfect, and everything that comes after is easier. Good advice on the strong back, and panel alignment
Uhh ,you could consider engineered 16 ' floor joists!! They are I beams. They are strong, straight and very stabile!! Using lumberyard timber it,s frustrating!
on our first strongback we used lumber...it was a nightmare. On the second one we used TGIs, same as you call engineered. It was cheaper and went together in a few hours. Lessoned learned.
@@ojigwanyachts9361 uhh, for great dead level large work benches the engineered joists are just the thing for boat or airplane building. You make a table ,cover with osb level it and put on a layer of board that has the melamine surface. Great for lay ups because epoxy doesn't,t stick to it!
You said earlier that you purchased the koit from Current Marine in SA. Can you give nore details. I assume you purchased the plans from Schionning then purchased the kit from CM. Can you give more details as to this purchase and how it was carried out. thanks
We purchased the plans from Schionning for the Arrow 1280 and worked with Schionning on getting our kit built at current marine, based on our model and core choice, they handled that part of the process, if we had wanted a different kit is might have been fabricated at a different location. Schionning has a few places around the globe that build up the kits and depending on what model and materials and final shipping location the kit may be built at a different location. We didn't work directly with them. We then coordinated the shipping container purchase and shipment to the US and found a clearing agent at our local port to help us get the container accepted and then offloaded and delivered to our facility. That was a significant effort. We are here to help, if other are interested in buying their own plans, or Kits we are happy to share our lessons learned.
Cool use of a laser level for starting your catamaran build. You have made great initial progress. A heated and insulated shed is awesome.

@@ojigwanyachts9361 que precio tiene esa embarcacion
Looks really good! I really look forward to see more videos from the build of the arrow 1280

that laser level is bad ass
Amazing week 🙌🏽🤙🏽
