chines

 Today we finished notching the chines (24' or 2"x8") and sistered the beasts.

The plywood under is just to provide us with some semblence of a level work surface.

This is the sister/butt block joining the two halves of the chine.  No, no, that's the wife, the sister is the wood thing.

It amazes me how the boat always goes from small to huge to small as you build the thing.

Tomorrow the joined chines will be attached to the ply siding and the sides framed in, getting ready to add the bottom, at which point this will look a whole lot more boatlike.....or in this case, barge like.

Everything hurts.

Stay tuned.
