Thwarts on

Did some work on the canoe last night after work. Ended up I was out in the garage til after 11pm!! Have put both thwarts in now, they are looking really good. I have just screwed then on with brass screws just now. When I next mix up a bathc of epoxy I will get them stuck in.

No pics I'm afraid.

Well its been a busy day!!

Didn't start off too well though. Decided I would put on the inwhales today. Had to buy some more timber as I had a change of plan with regards how exactly to fit them. I was a bit disappointed to find the new 12mm x 33mm was actually 2mm thinner that the last lot. Also I struggled to find nice knot free pieces. Used the wallpaper steamer and the poly-pipe to steam the wood first. I was a bit disappointed with the finish of the inwhales but on reflection I think once they are sanded and filled they will look fine.

Finished the day by taping all of the inside joins.
