Obviously your working and creating loads of dust I don't know of any grinder that can handle that kind of dirty work , sO FEQUANTLY you need to use compressed air and thoroughly and completely blow the dust out of the grinder other wise it completely clogs the air passages inside and all round the windings and theres no cooling taking pace and gets really hot as in smoking ! CHEAP OF EXSPENSIVE MAKES NO DIFFERENACE ONE IS NO BETTER THAT ANOTHER THEYA LL BLOCK UP WITH DUST !!
Messing round with boats is fun !! the learning never stops ,even after more than 30 years there's always something new happening somewhere ! BUT somethings never change and some problems never go away and just keep reoccurring !!so moved into Composite Forensics , Now that something completely new !!

Sorry to hear you are having a bad time with it. Knowing when to say when is a hard decision to make. Smart of you to know your limits and stop. Hopefully you can get it finished one day. Lots of guys in good physical condition have folded and given up, so your not alone. It's a crappy job rebuilding these old boats. Get better soon JR....

I also am sorry to hear of your issues. I'm 71 and having health issues, as is my wife. My project is about 80% complete and haven't touched it in over a month. I hope to be able to start back on it soon. My first build was a Bullet which took around 3 yrs due to family issues. You can do it by working just a little at a time. Best wishes and best of luck to you whatever you decide.

Yip old age catch's up with us all sooner or later !! When im planning all and any work these days the hardest parts are always first to get done and then I cruise with the rest . Its a mental thing knowing the easy part is still to come !!coupled with determination and never giving up !!
Messing round with boats is fun !! the learning never stops ,even after more than 30 years there's always something new happening somewhere ! BUT somethings never change and some problems never go away and just keep reoccurring !!so moved into Composite Forensics , Now that something completely new !!
