The Shipyards are open...

Progress on the kayak is coming along nicely. I wasn't expecting to get this far along this quickly but I have a tendency to get completely focused on a project at the cost of other chores. That's why my lawn sometimes looks a little ragged.
Anyway, I got the hull assembled today. Here's a couple of pictures.


Tomorrow I'll begin laying the epoxy fillets and fiberglass tape and coating all the wood with liquid epoxy. I think this is going to be messy!!


I will need to take a few hours off tomorrow since my beloved Huskers will be playing on TV at noon. GO BIG RED.






I guess I'll take the rest of the day off...

That is a beautiful Kayak.
Never been in one myself- but my father had a lovely wood & canvas canoe that I helped him patch & paint once.
