I laminated an arch that conforms to the shape of the cabin top. Tonight I dressed it up with a belt sander and I'm now gluing it to the #3 bulkhead. The plans call for sawn frames backed by plywood. |
The centerboard trunk halves are now glued and screwed together. It is set aside until ready to fit into the hull. |
Extra epoxy that spilled out and pooled from gluing the arch. It is a waste of epoxy but much better than leaving voids or cracks between the strips of wood in the lamination. |
The arch for the #1 bulkhead is setting up. I will glue it to the bulkhead top in the same way as for bulkhead #3. This is a slight departure from the plans I purchased. I think it will be just as strong and fit the style that I want. |
