Father & Son & "The Learning Curve"...

[WDfrmTN]

It's back on the horses in the barn...some more sanding and painting left, deckplates, paddles.
Confess to a "lazy do-nuttin day" yesterday

Had some delays due to my Daddy's truck breaking down...I'm the mechanic! Got it done, then Karl and I went back to work.

Catching up:

Making deck plate from scrap:

Look at that concentration!

Clean, scrape, fit...

Clean, scrape, fit...

'Poxied up some spots & seams...

Finished the deck plates, sanded the stems/stem trim, just some light sanding, paint, and wax left!

Good help is a blessing. Looks like fun and almost time to start the next one. You will need one for yourself.

We're talking about a UJ skiff, then another pirogue...maybe a JEM TV. What we learned on this one will come in handy!

I'm really proud of you engaging your Son in he project. Good on ya!

Hey...it's supposed to be HIS boat!
He's coming along, too...more sure of himself, quicker to jump in, and quicker to speak his mind - "What if we do this?" "Will this work?"
Oh, his Nanny (my Momma) gave him two cleats off and old runabout they junked...he's proud of those!
I'll be off tomorrow, so we'll get some done tonight...could get it wet Thursday if all goes right!

Boat is "finished" (I put that in quotes because I know we'll change/add something :lol: ) and started on paddles.
Will have some pics up soon.

I know I promised pics, but sewer took a crap :wink: at my rental house. Been diggin' doo-doo and layin' pipe all weekend.
Got the pic on the 'puter, just not on the net, yet.

You cudda just said that you were busy; we'd have bought that.

Well, put it in Poppa's pond Thursday! Karl is taking to the paddling very well...I just sat back while he went all over the pond. Had about a 5kt wind, so he got some good education on tracking and angling in all directions.
