: Got the frame temporarily lashed together with fishing line, until
: the artificial sinew I ordered from Jeff arrives. I gotta thank
: Jeff again for the videos on lashing and sewing polyester.
: Temporarily lashing the fishing line gave me practice tying
: those knots for the sinew.
: The deck ridges, fore and aft, are all installed. I just glued them
: to the formers, as the joints were neat. The stringers are glued
: to the stem plates, too. I figure I ought to lash them, just to
: be on the same side.
: It came out a little long, due to the length of the keel and
: gunwales. 15' 8". 24 lbs as shown in the attached image.
: Once I get the skin on there, I think I'm going to be happy with
: the weight.
: While I'm waiting for the sinew... I may as well start thinking
: about paint schemes. The wife likes the idea of Rustoleum's
: Color Shift paint. I'm not so sure... I have the feeling it'll
: turn my 'yak into a wanna-be-redneck-bass-boat. Don't get me
: wrong, I may be awful blueneck at times (northern redneck, cold
: weather turns the neck blue, get it?), but I'm not sure if I can
: pull that off. I do bet there'd be no problems with it being
: visible, though. I'm thinking yellow bow/stern for a foot or
: two, then a few feet of green, and blue around the coaming. I
: ought to be able to come up with some artistic way of doing that
: without bringing that "Yep, you've got the mentality of an
: engineer" comment from the wife.
LOL...nothing wrong with the "mentality of an engineer" :)
Looks nice.
