Completion of stitching and hull tack welding

We worked well into the night, about 11pm. Long night, and we even got started early...


Stitching the frames on, now you can see the curves of the canoe.


Frames in place now.


Putting the top panel on. We decided it would be easier to stitch the ends of the top panels together, then spread them and start stitching from the middle out to the tips.




Check it out! we've got a canoe!


View from on top of the deck.


Gettin kind of dark...


Here we're putting the epoxy/wood filler mix into the seams. This is the 'tack welding' process. Once these dry, we can take the stitches out and fill in their holes.

Back under the tarps for the night
