Small Progress

We've been busy lately, unfortunately just not with kayak building. I have however managed to scrape together some meager accomplishments from the last month:

Kayak #2 Stitched
We've managed to stitch the second boat, which now sits waiting to be faired and glued. It's been tough to go back and repeat the work that we just did on kayak #1 with said kayak sitting nearby looking almost done. But we managed to pull ourselves away to catch up on kayak #2.

Almost Deckbeams
We've also managed to put together the frame on which we'll be bending the deck beams. It doesn't look like much in the picture but it took a while to put together. Mostly because I was drilling the 2-inch holes for the clamps with a cordless drill. I had to stop and charge a few times.
