Jigs and Painted Toolboxes

Today we started to work on our jig for the boat shed we will build to house the Virginia.  A jig is made as a model or pattern for making many pieces of something that need to be the same.  Also, we finished up our toolboxes by sanding them down with electric sanders and sandpaper and then painting them. While we were working inside, we had people outside working on the sills underneath the boat shed.  Some others were working on cutting out triangle bases from a template. The triangle bases are to be used as stanchions for crowd control when we have visitors and a lot of work is going on. 
History  About 100 men arrived in the Kennebec River on the Gift of God and the Mary and John. Sir George Popham was the leader and Raleigh Gilbert was second in
command.
