paddleworks!

so, tuesday i went and bought a couple of planks.
4.5x12 CM, and 2½ meters long.
i sawed off the end 25 cm, and marked out the bits i wanted to plane off.

time to get planing! :D

once that was done (roughly 2½ hours of work) it's time to cut out the actual paddle shape.


starting to look like a paddle, time to get the actual shape started.
a good deal of rasping and sandpapering later, it's mostly done.

i'd like to give it a go with my dads sandpaper machine to save some time, but it'll have to wait till next weekend.
but considering i haven't got a kayak yet, it's no real rush.
