The answer is no. I don't have a lot of them. There have been some unusual happenings the last few weeks, and since I have been "encouraged" not to post things that are not directly related to working on the moho, I have not posted some of the other info.

I do thank you for following.

I haven't lost focus. Once in a while, outside circumstances require additional attention.

Thanks.

I added some additional strips to the other end, and now have a continuous glued piece around the form. I will still have to add a few more pieces after these clamps come off, then I can start on adding the bottom, after trimming the sides from this piece.







If I was starting over, I would probably do it a little differently, but, it is what it is.

Experience can be a great teacher.

I ran out of clamps again while trying to add additional pieces to the sink sides.

Here's a neat little trick for saving an acid brush that was used for spreading glue, for an additional use.

I drilled a small hole in the top of a plastic bottle cap, that was just a touch smaller than the handle of the brush.

I pushed the handle through the top, added water to the plastic bottle, and then screwed the top back on. The bristles are well off the bottom of the bottle, so they don't deform.

I added the next section today, so this makes about 3/4 of the sides glued together.

I had planned on doing more, but alas, I ran out of clamps to hold things together, so I was done.

I guess I should have made that run to Harbor Freight. Lol.







Yup, just like watching the grass grow. What can I tell ya?

Well, here's the view after gluing these 2 sections together. Yes, there is a seam going across the center, but there are also 2 layers underneath, where the seam is not at the same spot, so it's all good.

I probably will add a layer of fiberglass/epoxy over top of this anyhow, so, no problem.

Next was to trim the different layers to the correct length, getting ready to glue this puppy together.







I did glue some of this together, but did not take any extra pictures. I was interrupted, and was planning on working on it later, but it never happened.

However, I am farther along than this.

Pics tomorrow.

I removed the clamps and proceeded to the next step of getting ready to glue some of these pieces together to make the sink.

By the way, did you know it's possible to cut wood with a tin snips? Well, it does have to be thin wood, but it's possible. Lol.

I then proceeded to cut a 1/2" round over on the bottom of my sink pattern. After looking at it, I think that a 1 inch round over bit would work better, as 1/2 inch is a little much for bending wood around it.

Next was to glue another set of strips to the pattern, and hopefully, this will be the last set. I will have to glue the ones together that I have made already, in order to form all 4 sides of the sink.







While it may not look like much, today's work amounted to about 3 hours worth of work.
