Buildling the Expedition Wherry, Part II

Time to get started!


The frames are taped together - that's nice of CLC.  They are spaced periodically within the interior of the boat and support the planks or outside skin.
















They need some stiffening by doubling up the plywood on the top.  Some also need some 3/4 inch square wood glued on to support the interior decks.












 Shoot, things are going so well, I'll glue up the planks.  With a little epoxy glue, the "puzzle" joints fit together easily.  With some buckets and bricks to weigh the joints down, and some plastic so that everything doesn't stick together forever, it's a piece of cake!

A little cleaning up of epoxy and I'll be ready to put it together!
