Back to Work

Well ... it has been a while since I've been able to work on my kayak, it has been a busy spring.

I finally got a few strips put on and have milled some more coves on the strips that I had previously put the bead on. This weekend and tonight I got the center line strips on the hull. The kayak is beginning to take shape. The project requires a lot of clamps of various sizes and shapes. A friend of mine loaned me his dad's Stanley #4 plane and I used it to plane the edges of the centerline strips, a real fine tool, a real pleasure to work with.

Below are a few picts of my progress:


This is progress from the stern looking forward



This view is from the bow looking towards the stern


Looking along the center of the hull with the centerline strips in place


A view of the stern shaping up now, the lines look fair



Here I'm using the old Stanley No. 4 to bevel the centerline strips


Yep, it is getting to build another boat ... Mr. E would be proud
