well the skiff is progressing along quite well of late with the lock down cutting down other options
so over the last couple of weeks the main bow support was glued up and fitted along with some extra beams
all the beams under the deck had strips glued along the tops to increase the gluing surface
last weekend I got some fiberglassing done on the bottom of the dry hatch and to the 2 side storage spots and glued the front section of bow on
and the hard wood strips along the gunnel were extended with a scarf join and glued along the sides
through the week I cut the 2 rear pieces for the bow ( not fitted till the dry hatch seals are done as I need the open sections to clamp the seals on )
so Friday before the week end I turn the boat upside down to finish off the hard wood strip this needed to be fitted in sections around the bow section because of the curve being to great to bend around
so a few lobster back cuts , an angle cut to fit the hull angle and plenty of thickened epoxy had that glued in place
Saturday with clamps removed the under side of the hard word was sanded and a layer of glass done to strengthen the area
this morning the boat was turned right way up and back on the building frame
parts made for the dry hatch seal ply cut for the seat and some other bits and piece that with get glued up and fitted through the week
there is a few chance for it to be finished by the end of stage 4 lock down if I dont run out of epoxy
