Giving an update on the Mai tar II restoration project.
Since our last video sometime ago, we have moved Mai Star II into a temporary shed come workshop across the yard at J-Star Marine Services where Mai Star II is under going her restoration. It took a lot of man power and steel rollers and a final push from a friends forklift to get her into position in her new home where she can be worked on undercover and with workbenches and lights and power to get the work done whatever the weather might throw at us over the coming months.
One job completed this week was to plug up all the old nail and screw holes in the hhull where the old nails and screws were removed when the five broken and in places rotten ribs were and also the broken and in places rotten frame was fitted. these have all been removed and the hull check for any rot and any other damage and the hull is being stripped of all the ol paint so that the hull can be painted before any new wood is fitted into the hull.
