Ready....Set....SUMMER!
We used a bench plane to trim down the stem so that it will fit under the keel. |
Here we spread the epoxy on the bow stem to make it stick to the inner stem. Cheeeese aye! |
Between the blue pieces of tape we spread the epoxy substance on the front of the skiff so the bow stem will stay in place. |
After putting the epoxy glue on the bow stem at the front of the skiff, then we placed the bow stem into place. |
We put two screws on each end of the keel and tied piece of string really tight to make sure the keel was nice and straight. |
In this picture, we taped along the keel so the epoxy doesn't get on the skiff when we glue the keel on. |
We spread the epoxy substance on the keel and skiff and put the keel in place. |
