Done sanding the inside of panel #5

After some breakages I am finally done sanding the inside of panel #5. Sanding wood instead of epoxy is just SO much faster! The angle grinder with the cleaning pad was a real timesaver.

In the last two nights the attrition rate have been rather high. The drill used to sand the inside with a foam pad bust a bearing. This is a cheap chineese drill, so I dont worry about it. It is still under warranty as well, so.. I also bust two of the foam pads I use when sanding with the drill. Things delaminated while sanding :-( Time to find a stronger or more flexible glue I guess.

Tomorrow night I'll plane the gunwhales to shape and post some photos.
