So this weekend ended up busy with the family, but I still managed to get a little bit of work done on the boat.

Started out Friday night with the polishing above.

Saturday I woke up and went to harbor freight and grabbed a jig saw.

The same damn thing happens and the saw wouldn't hold the blade. So after tightening it down, I broke the collet


So back to harbor freight.... Again.
I decided to buy an "old school" saw. One where you have to bolt the blade in.

And I finished the cut, finally





Then I started on the rest of the plate.

About halfway through my third jig saw decided to catch on fire

(Hard to see in this pic)



After this I quit with the jig saws and used my scroll saw. About 5 blades later I had my rear plate. Woohoo!!
