Day 2

I was planning on getting two days work done this weekend, but ended up going away saturday for my grandfathers 90'th birthday.

I did get a bunch of work done sunday, though i had no camera, so no pictures this time :<
i finished off the rib mortises (yay router). though they're a bit narrow, so i have to widen them with a file next weekend.
then i put the gunwales in the forms, and while i was considering wether i should do mortises or dowels for the deck ribs i decided to just be lazy and screw them in.
so i got some 5 cm screws and stuck two in each side of every rib.
it feels very solid, and now the frame is stuck together.
i also ripped the rib material, and will be going out today with a tub to soak them, hoping to get bending this weekend.
work still needing to be done:
bending ribs.
raised deck beams over my legs.
masik.
stemplates.
chines/keel.

i'm hoping to be able to do all this in 2 weekends, and i have mailed the guy who owns www.groenlaender.de to order the nylon cloth.

moving forwards, hopefully i'll have some more pictures and possibly a rib bending video next week :D
