tiller update...

27 July 2009
well i took the tiller off, and took 60grit on the RO to strip the old varnish, and surface rot... now i have it sanded and just need to cut the butt off, and rebuild the spot that the bracket is bolted im going to fill the holes there with thick epoxy and then brush neat epoxy over the rot and the butt of the tiller, after making the wood "thirsty" with a heat lamp! then im going to revarnish it with 6 coats of z-spar. ill put photos up as i go
