I like to show some of the progress so that amatuers don't feel so intimidated to try some of this on your own. This process is fairly simple and straightforward. First off it seems you would need 10' long plywood to do this, and you do. But you can go to a good cabinet shop and have them fingerjoint the wood for you to get your 10'. It cost me 150.00 for the plywood and that was all put together and the wood has a nice grain to it. It is also a very solid core with no voids. You cannot see the joint and it is strong. The battons on the bottom of the boat were not there. We made those and dowel pinned them in place and mixed up some dura glass and set them to the bottom. You trim the dura lgass with a knife as it is curing. I have the sideboards stting on the stands and I am putting two coats of resin on both sides. I am going to use a glue called EZ 100 and I'm gong to bond the sideboard to the upper and lower batton in the boat. I will use 9/16 ths staples to go through the 1/4 in plywood into the batton and I will let that dry good. I will finish it tomorrow I hope and I will take you through the finish.
