It was a pretty productive day in the shop. I worked on finishing the cheater strips at the front of the fishing yak and stripped up almost to the keel line.
I figure some time Sunday after church I will be starting the keel.
I also figured out yesterday while the heater was going that it was much easier to bend the strips as they start getting verticals neat the stern and bow that heating them with the heater works pretty good to help loosen them up for the bend.
I ran out of staple and glue about the same time. So today after church I will stop by and get some glue, 9/16" staples and some more blue painters tape.
After getting all the cheater strips in I have one little spot about 1/16 of and inch that I will need to shave a piece of wood to fill in. I will do small work like that when I am waiting on glue to dry.
I had built an extra set of kayak Horses when I built the ones for the kayak. They work great as an extra set of hands when ripping wood and I also put the Jackson Coosa up on the rack yesterday and started working on getting it ready for spring fishing as well. See other poster.
Have an awesome day, its suppose to warm today.
Thanks
Dale
