Apple Juieinfant Reflux?

Ithaca

The Tiki will be called Ithaca.

No names of gods of Polynesian or bright stars, no Corto Maltese or distant and mysterious places, not the Pearl of Labuan, no strange beasts mythological or tropical bird.

Ithaca, because the construction of a boat is a place where you will arrive after traveling a long time, especially inside themselves, and once gives way to leave.

I found my personal definition of Ithaca.

If we want to add that we are made mostly of water and it is therefore possible (and necessary) and navigate within them in those around us, then the boat becomes something more than just a means to cross a stretch of sea and Ithaca is not just a goal.



definitely need to paint on a nice pair of eyes bows to ward off unwelcome presences ...


Talking about more serious things, continues the installation of the deck, the bow is already in place and the stern will be available soon. The sides for the support of the deck house are cut and resins, including holes in the door.



Blankets bow and stern are "resting" on the sides of the hull, following the transverse curvature (to avoid water to stop and to provide greater resistance due to the effect arc). Are reinforced with three strips on the inside and one on the outside. The bonding is performed with creases along the outer perimeter and inner sides (the ones available!).



The deck follows the same principle as the bow and stern, with two increases, however, leaning on the side of the hull and always reinforced with three strips on the inside.


Now that I see it mounted I can think of square so that the deck is a bit 'too militaristic, looks like a tank! A minimum of curvature to the deck in the transverse and longitudinal would give the whole a more pleasant; but would require a lot 'of changes to the project ... to keep in mind for the next boat =)

Dora The Explorer Waffle Iron

Color! As essential

No video or photos in those days. It seems that the forces have completely abandoned the glorious instrument of recovery, which, alas, is in the process of (dubious) repair.

But the song goes on, at least from a conceptual point of view!

Although still early to devote himself to paint, I'm starting to think about how you should see the Tiki in its final shape.

I threw down a couple combinations of colors, so, just to see the effect they did. (Nice Tamarra the background picture eh? There are only palm trees!)

not see the splash pool, but that will surely be white, I have no doubt about this.

For the sails do not know ... The set amaranth attracts me a lot, but also the white sails with the line colors do not look bad at all.

The hull will think blue, the red are still in doubt, but surely I will not yellow!

(green? No bad luck ...) Suggestions??

Exercise Bad For Herpes



I remember reading a book by Paul Lodigiani as one of the key to the success of building a boat is to put a chair in the yard.

dell'autocostruttore chair, and it is true, is crucial.

I see it this way: there are three main characters, the designer, the builder and the boat . The chair? It creates a connection between the three.

The designer has an idea of \u200b\u200bboat and the results on paper, producing detailed plans and appropriate installation instructions. The builder has over the project and must be realized.

The instructions, however, speaks of the ideal boat, that he has in mind the designer, not the boat itself, which shortly thereafter will begin to grow and that will never be identical to the original idea. It is here that enters the game for the first time in the chair!

Through long and fruitful work between a pause for reflection on the other manufacturer (seduto!) must make its directions of the project should digest the plans and assembly instructions in order to understand what was the initial idea that was then reported su carta.

E vi assicuro che ci vuole tempo per questo, non è proprio immediato! ma la consapevolezza che ne deriva permette poi di muoversi con un certo agio nella realizzazione; a poco a poco vengono in mente sempre più modifiche da apportare alla propria barca, proprio perché si è capita la funzione delle sue parti che possono (e devono!) essere adattate al gusto personale dell’autocostruttore! Non c’è bisogno che vi racconti la soddisfazione che si prova a personalizzare la propria barchetta, che sarà per certo diversa da qualsiasi altra barca dello stesso modello.

E la sedia in tutto questo ha fornito un contributo mica da ridere! Ma non è finita qui, rimane da legare barca e manufacturer.

I often go to the site and "work" very little, even after installing a piece I'm there for an hour in my chair watching the Tiki ... hypnotized ...

This is more difficult to explain, but anyone who has ever put his hands on something (that is, especially when it comes to wood) to bring out something works, you know what I mean.

is the satisfaction of having completed a certain process in your mind, for example: if I build a simple piece of floorboard, not just follow the instructions and make it, I have to think about how to achieve it (there is no single answer to this !) and imagine already assembled ready to fulfill its function. If all goes well then shoot contemplation, what I had in mind has become a reality ... I could be there to watch it for hours.

Now, the chair works fine, but I think I could get better results with a hammock ...

Pokemon Soul Silver Shiny Stone

Media hull ... etc. ... etc. ... Progress in Milan in May

Here I am, here I am, I'm alive eh!
Actually many have asked me how to do the work, and I'm glad someone reads my posts, but if you're so interested, then come to help me out! If the weather is bad on the weekends there are a secure) and sometimes in the evening after work ...

This month I have not posted new updates because the site did not proceed, but only for the fact that it was necessary to do a lot of small jobs, not "striking" but necessary. Give two coats of resin on the pieces of dunnage and mate, finally build a decent media for hull, start assembling the connecting beams, laminated finish on the glass fiber fillers ... So many little things to finish before putting new pieces on the boat!

finally a boat that works support

Fortunately, the weather gave me a hand, fall temperatures and snowfall in the mountains around me are certainly not regret being a sanding rather than put your feet to soak in the frozen lake.

Grigna (imbiancata!) and Resegone June 20

Regarding the Tiki finally the pieces of dunnage should all be in order and carefully resin, the next step will be to sew them to the hull and provide for plenty of filling. Now I have a place to keep your groceries: D

the middle panels have the "hole" the finger, the others are fixed
... a little 'dusty ...

As soon as I'll be rid of the floorboards I could fit the pool, then it will seem like a boat!
