S&G: WGW Construction. Day 2

Date: 1/31/2002, 11:22 am

My Wineglass wherry arrived yesterday. 3 boxes with a bunch of plywood. I read the beginning of the manual thoroughly 3 times and the rest just once. I placed the epoxy juggs in hot water for 2 hours. I removed vent plug in the basement so that I could get more heat in there. I live in Windham, Maine and even thought we had a very warm winter it still gets cold. First thing I realized was that I did not have enough space to build only on my woodworking table. So I used some carton boxes and some storage boxes to extend the current table. I laid out first half of the wherry and nailed the first pair to the table. I'm about to nail the rest of this and start planning on the fiberglass joinery. I have never worked with epoxy so the first step is scary.

I'm thinking about putting some plastic bag under the joints so that I don't glue the whole thing to my table.

I will probably get my flash and start taking pictures. I don't have digital camera though so the pictures will probably materialize later into the project after I scan them into my pc.
