: How did you atttach the deck lines? Is that just a piece of webbing
: screwed through to the frame?

Yes, I fold it over three times and a burn a small hole. Then a screw and washer. Simple, cheap and effective.

: Also, the beads. It looks like the cord is just drilled through the
: skin and frame, is that all that is required? or are you sealing
: it up somehow?

I drill the holes before skinning then melt the skin, snake a wire though and pull the cord though. Seal off the hole with some lexel caulking. You could wedge a piece of cone shaped wood in there to seal it too.
