A narrowboat rebuild by Nick Goodall.

So close, no matter how far

18th August 2024

Troubled by my one-track mind, I had a blast programming this week yet lacked the luster to carpent. But then came Saturday and that all changed, in flow and I wouldn’t stop; I couldn’t find the hours to keep cutting wood.

The portholes-on-pine look so damn good, and cutting slits along the backs has made bending pieces a lot easier.

Unfortunately I will run out of wood, but I’ll try to collect more next week, along with some extra pine I need to build a little cupboard for the end of the bed.

Then it’s just… finish the cladding, get some flooring in, build the cupboard, cut and upholster the mattress and install some lights. Details, really. So close.

Until next Sunday!
