We're back and having a ball making videos in the Open Door Boatshop. Our skiff is coming along nicely, this week we're putting on the gunwales caps or cover boards. The lumber is still coming from that same timber we started with, in fact, we've built most of the main parts of the boat from that one piece of wood.
The gunwale caps will go on in two pieces and be scarfed together using TotalBoat 5:1 Epoxy Resin. This will give us a very strong bond between the two pieces, effectively making them one long piece. Once both boards are cut out and in their final position, we can then bed and nail them down.
