Build Day 2



Well, so far this thing is pretty easy. I spent an hour or so this morning gluing the bottom planks together. I began by aranging them in a way that I would get some cool grain patterns and then clamped them together. The directions recommended taping the joints, flipping the planks over and then using the tape like a hinge to glue in between. Worked like a charm.

While the glue dries, I'm trying to figure out how to get the rocker table to better match the rocker in the keel. I used strapping to approximate it as the instructions indicated, but they don't exactly meet up. I'm going to have to find some shims or other method to get a better fit.
