I got the inwales on and now I am working on the gunwales.
|
clamps, lots of clamps. It seems the boat will turn out to be 7'6" length over all. |
Making things work with what's put in front of me, I have decided that the width of the gunwales will be what the stock I have is, minus the width of the table saw blade. I cut the outwale down to 1/2 inch, so as to make it bendable, and that left 3/8ths for the inwale.
|
I can only glue up a side at a time as I need more clamps |
I haven't used any fasteners on the gunwale, just glue I may add fasteners from the inside eventually.
|
the bow transom is glued in and waits for finish trimming down to size. The large block of wood at the top is to accommodate a cleat or painter. |
The internal chines ended up being not so tight a fit, as in, I didn't do a very good job with them. I was in a weird mood the day I had the glue in my hand. I should have walked away and come back another time. But, I think it will all work out in the end.
