Bottom on Top!

I planed down the chine logs today, there getting close. Because of the tension in the chine logs I was unable to mate one of them with the stem post. So i made a little spacer and nailed it in.

I am a little bummed that i was unable to get the Chine log to a tighter fit but thus little piece will work and hey, its good enough.

Lea will be leaving for the week so i stopped that project and decided to get the bottom panel scarfed together (moving all This stuff around is getting cumbersome). So just one more pick of the boat outside.

This scarfing thing is getting easier and easier. I remember as a kid thinking it was tough, i never dealt with a chine log back then. Anyhow i was able to get the scarf joints cut.

Notice the huge amount of saw dust, i sort of covered the car.

It was delicate work to get the two panels under the hull but we got it done, lined up the panels, mixed the epoxy and than it was time to clean up.
