We're getting really close to putting our work skiff in the water but there are a few last things we still need to square away. In this episode we will fashion a new pair of Hawespipes from a pair of bronze through hull fittings. The pieces were turned on a lathe first and now I'm using a file and some sand paper to get them nice and smooth on the top and bottom so the line will run through them without any problems. Then we're going to bed them into the gunwale with TotalBoat 2:1 Epoxy Resin and Milled Glass Fiber and add two bronze rods below that you can tie off to.
