Didn't want to say anything until I had finished the first week.
So I am now working as a boat builder
We are building a prototype catamaran.
First two days I was dismantling four racing yachts, in the Port of Sotogrande.
This week I have been getting to grips with all the tools in the factory.
I am now the official lathe operator
Heres some pics of the factory.
One of the hulls
The other one.
Another boat in the making.
The first thing I made when I got there.
This is the anchor point for the main stays to the mast.
My job for the last three days, and next weeks work.
These are bushings for the keel.
I cut out 6 pieces from a bar of aluminium. Drilling the holes through the centre.
Next I turn them down to a specific size. This one has the outer dimensions turned down. Now I have to take out most of the inside to accept a nylon bushing. Should take most of next week to do that.
I am really enjoying the work. Using my hands and building things. Learning a new trade, I can take with me, where ever I go.
Oh, and the money helps
Expect new toys soon, and finally I can fix my Goblin.
