Take a load off

This week we completed one seat frame, and glued and screwed the side supports to the inside of the hull.







I also tried the seat out for size, and realised I might have to drop a few pounds before launch day :)

The frame was glued together and screwed from underneath. It was then taken away to be varnished and black webbing attached.


Next phase will start the second seat, clean up some bits of trim and then start to sand in preparation for paint / varnish.

2010: Year of the Canoe

After a break for Christmas, we got back to canoe building.

The first step was to tidy up the decks. We have to fill the gaps between the two gunwales with plywood, and when dry planed and sanded it down to meet the decks.

We then started work on the seats, first making 'seats' for the seats... :o)

Then making the frames that will support webbing.
