Day Three, Thursday, August 19 |
|
Sewed the front and back of the upper (they're called sheer) panels together with copper wire. Turned it upside down. Notice I've gone pro and am using a real sawhorse - no longer the kitchen chairs! |
|
| Opened up the bottom hull panels and placed them upside down on top of the sheer panels. |
|
| Drilled holes in sheer panels and hull panels and started sewing them together with the wire. It's important that the seams are smooth - that there are no gaps between the boards. This is what it looks like from the outside... |
|
and the inside. Look at those seams! |
|
It's actually starting to look like a boat. Phyllis is not impressed. |
|
Raised the hull up away from the sawhorse, supported on sticks with clamps, to make sure the frame cannot shift. This is in preparation for putting in the fiberglass. |
