Gavin Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 Wow! Another beautiful boat...You do some fine work...and thats one heck of a wood shop!
eric1978 Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 It's my 36''wide drum sander.. You're a lucky woodworker...a drum sander is a luxury tool. I'm getting a "real" shop together right now, but no space for a DS. Maybe when I retire.
woodman Posted September 13, 2011 Author Posted September 13, 2011 Thanks guys...been self employed for several yrs...cabinets etc... Got into boats in 06.... Wile wating on epoxy to glass the inside of the boat..... Cleats for the side deck panels (taped inplace to se what they look like..The side decks will only be 4 1/2'' wide.. Notched out to hold fishing rods tucked up under the side decks.. http://s147.photobucket.com/albums/r302/scrawford_photos/

woodman Posted September 21, 2011 Author Posted September 21, 2011 Flipped the boat over to add fill coats of epoxy and a coat of graphite...I stood on a bath scale and weighed the boat..it's 40lbs..I was surprised.. http://s147.photobucket.com/albums/r302/scrawford_photos/
woodman Posted September 21, 2011 Author Posted September 21, 2011 After that dried.. flipped it back over this morning and sprayed a couple of coats of spar varnish on the deck.. http://s147.photobucket.com/albums/r302/scrawford_photos/
woodman Posted September 23, 2011 Author Posted September 23, 2011 Took the boat out to get it wet for the first time....Oh boy..does this boat kick -----It tracks ,turns....and "stable" I can stand up in it, and stand, cast fish and stand..this boat is assume..I weighed it again today and it came out at 45 or so lbs... Look at that rocker..it turns on a dime.. The closed cell foam pads are great for sound + nice to stand and fish on.. My 4 remaining kayaks This boat is on the right and the one to it's left is my avatar..they are the same length. The hulls of my fleet... http://s147.photobucket.com/albums/r302/scrawford_photos/
