Bending 4mm Steel: Harder Than Expected?
Tackling the challenge of skinning the rudder skeletons. It’s a lot more "jiggery-pokery" than I initially anticipated to get everything lined up perfectly. ---- OUR SPONSORS - PLS VIST JCB Tools - https://whcnj5.short.gy/JCB - 5% off DISCOUNT code: BLUESTEEL5 xTool - https://whcnj5.short.gy/XTOOL Ecoflow - https://whcnj5.short.gy/ecoflow-power xLaserLab X1 Pro - https://whcnj5.short.gy/X1Pro-1 ---- The weather is doing exactly what you’d expect for West Wales —it’s absolutely horrendous. Between the wind, the rain, and forgetting my keys, it hasn’t been the smoothest start, but the work on Blue Steel doesn't stop for a bit of rain. What’s happening in this update: The Rainy Start: Dealing with the wet and windy Welsh weather while trying to keep the camera lens dry. Mystery Gifts: A huge thank you to the anonymous supporter who sent us grinding discs and welding gloves to the marina office! Rudder Fabrication: Removing the "skew-whiff" ribs and starting the delicate process of shaping and welding the steel skin over the skeletons. Precision Work: Using a straight edge and some "persuasion" to ensure the trailing edge is perfect to avoid turbulence. Special Discount for the Crew: I’ve been using the JCB Pro Tools throughout the Blue Steel renovation because they actually stand up to the work. I’ve managed to secure a discount for you guys: 👉 Get 5% off JCB Tools using code: BLUESTEEL5 A Personal Thank You: I realised I’ve been a bit slack with notifications, so I’m catching up on some much-deserved shoutouts to our newest members and supporters.
