Bow Piece cut out

Bow Pattern

I would like to cut it out of plywood tommorrow, but I might need to wait for my scroll saw blade order to arrive with the spiral blades. It is actually starting to look like a kayak now.

Chines installed. Time to do Bow and Stern.

Gunwhales test fitted

Next step is to screw them in.

So, a little more progress on Strong back. Hopefully tonight I will fix station 1, so then I can install station 1 and 7 tommorrow. Also, tommorrow I hope to attempt to add additional epoxy to the scarfed stringers. Hopefully they are strong enough as is. I might add a couple of screws to make them stronger.

Strongback and Stringers

Need more pictures

So, I need to start recording my Build Process. I am building a wood Skin on Frame (SOF) kayak. The design I have chosen is Sea Ranger by Thomas Yost (www.yostwerks.com).
