Decks A'Hoy

So despite the fact that some think decking a rogue river dory is foolhardy it has been the plan all along so here we go.
I decided to use local pine, easy to get and cheep. I didn't really sweat that call. Above is the first of many cross pieces not to be confused with Reese's Pieces although they are also good.
You can see here that the seats for the passengers and oar person are full width and the rest of the deck supports are ripped in half. That crappy table saw has really done it.

Kind of blurry but you can see the foot well shaping up here.
Best clamp yet.
All the stern framing is in and the bow is on the way.
And after all of that great carpentry time to cover it all up.
This is super fun but REAL time consuming in the next pic you can see the cardboard i used to make templates for the decks.
Here is the last little bow piece being fitted its the off color piece that is right in the bow of the boat in the pic above.
Allot to do but easing closer even with the impending move.
