manufacturing

It is hard to grasp all of the work that we have going on in one moment.
Esteban is still working on b76, we had to have make some sample doors, and now do a rush a job for FH Perry. Fh Perry is one of the premier builders in the area, we are willing to oblige. Gagan is still working on the teak benches. The benches remind me of when I was working on the schooner Larinda about 15 years ago. They are very difficult pieces made from solid wood. Nowadays most everything we build is an assembly of wood boards 1-2" thick and plywood and MDF. The benches are solid wood all the way through.
We are having trouble with our air compressor, it continues to fill up with water and the drain at the bottom is plugged up. I bought some new dynabride sanders and went to plug them in to the air line and got sprayed with water. This is very unnerving because water in the air lines will damage all the machines that we have in the shop.
I unbolted the compressor from the floor and as we were jacking it up to replace the drain we snapped of the regulator at the tank leaving the threaded pipe sheared off flush with tank still in place. After a couple hours and two trips to the hardware store we were able to get the pipe out and reassemble the regulator, put on a new drain and get the compressor up and running again. Without the compressor we are dead in the water, I was in panic mode during this repair. I should have done the repair on sunday when we are closed, only problem is that the local hardware store is closed. It takes a fraction of the time to go to the local hardware store than it does to go to lowes or home cheapo or something.
