    In the absence of feedback on the removal methods, I will start with my filet knife.

    daily music fix

    This is 'our' song. About 20 years ago when my wife and I started talking about actually getting serious she found this album and for some reason thought her daddy would like it so naturally she burned a copy. That same week i flew her out to Pheonix to where I was working at the time and we...

    Been perusing old threads on removing foam and @scottdanforth you I think it was mentioned this about 11 years ago. Still good?

    Yep, #10 copper. Smooth to not catch and no corrosion. I'm better than most with a fish tape as well.

    Looks worse than it is. Plan is to run two pvc tubes. One for the shift and steering cables, one for general wiring. Maybe a small one for the depth finder. That is of course a plan but if I move battery under the helm... either way I want tube's not that general mix of crap should i need...

    So you were correct, missed one rivet plus I learned that just because I drilled thru the pin can still be there. Found a handfull of those. The lone star I did was way easier, mostly rotted drywall screw and bad wood. And no foam in 1953. Most all out, the back panel on starboard only...

    I can however as I said the wood is I very good condition except in a strip about 8 inches by about 6 feet so I should be able to flip mirror image the cuts from the good side.

    Yeah that was my plan to cut if can't get pulled up. I get it to raise about halfway to the center but the sides aren't releasing. More to come over the weekend.

    Yes, the area I'm working now is really clean and good wood except the the one side and that is mush. There are holes where they sprayed the foam and it appears to have expanded enough to glue to the wood. The fasteners were aluminum rivets. Cold wet windy today no barely have looked at...

    My next table project

    Cold and windy today so not working on the boat but should be able to get the top ready for the epoxy. Here is the base just got yesterday. Not sure what my trestle will look like but thinking matching the top so pine wrapped in walnut, proportional.
