Today the class worked on the cross cuts of the 9 inch brace pieces within 16th of an inch accuracy and also the using of the tri square and the cutting with the hand saw. There was also another group working on on a project for the vessel operations class measuring and cutting out 12inch by 18 inch rectangles out of 1/2 inch plywood to use as back boards for a knot board project.

Today there were many people doing a number of things, from sweeping up all the wood shreds to maintaining the room organized to cutting wood to make a scarf joint. All the people had their own task and were doing their own thing - all to come up with the final product - building a boat.

THE SHOP...12/14/10

 Hey everyone, my name is Antonio Duran and today I have been assigned as the Documenter and Public relations staff.   This update shows how my fellow classmates(marine technicians) are hard at work on their goal of accomplishing the unique New York Sloop. The following pictures also show technicians lofting the skeleton of the vessel and others finishing up the building platform where the sloop will be located. Last but not least another group carves UANYH on tools so that they wouldnt get mixed with other company tools. This has been the update on December 14, 2010 and we look forward for more followers and visitors to view our vessel with their own eyes(something unique)

NY sloop blog

My name is Marc Melendez. i am one of the kids working on the ny sloop today i am the documenting what we did today we measured the cross members and layed them down.The point of the cross members is to make sure the floor is sterdy and the planks of wood we use for the stage do not bounce around to much we also aranged the tool cabinets we will try and post more pictures hope you keep following us through this project

New Job assignments Seniors

Hello everyone my name is Dawshaun Thompson, and today in Vessel Enginering, the class was divided into three separate groups. One group worked on Fixing the Tool cabinet with the old tools, the Second Group worked on The newer Tool Cabinet. The last group worked on Framing and cutting wood for our final Designs of the New York Sloop. Everyone had something to do and I believe this new system of work will help us as a class and as Group members to move a little faster and neater.
