This is the "Fine" sliding eat rowboat from the previous video, all sanded and having the cloth applied. I use a squeegee to push the epoxy through the weave of the cloth, and press the cloth against the hull.

![]() The boat is off the forms, and last week I sanded and glassed the inside of the hull. I made up the gunwale stock yesterday, and routed the bottom edge and glued it this afternoon. Tomorrow I'll sand the hull flush with the gunwales, and start on the bulkheads and maybe the decks. The shiny thing on the top of the radial arm saw is a lid for a cedar strip case for my wife's new ukulele. You can build all sorts of things with cedar strip!
I've started a new Cosine Wherry to be delivered to West Vancouver. The first dozen strips are flat-sawn as opposed to the vertical grain strips that are more common. I think they will look like ripples on still water, especially once the glass and epoxy are applied. Nice dark cedar too, always amazes me the variation in colour in the red cedar. The little line of chevrons is yellow cedar, for a nice contrast.
