I've been recovering from neck surgery, so things have been almost at a stand still, but through it all I'm finally adding deck rails to the boat. I also started working on the pedal mechanism. I added separators to the middle section where the mechanism is going to be placed. I'm currently trying to figure out how the mechanism should be mounted. I eventually have to document the steps I took in constructing the boat. The boat has gained a lot of weight, which makes it no longer possible for me to lift it like I was able to before. I have to say that the boat is really coming along nicely. The Auset Fronds sister boat will be much easier to build, since I now knows what works, and what doesn't. I'm striving to make the boat much more uniform and sturdy. I brought some Urethane. originally for the dog houses to protect them from the elements. I realized that I can apply the Urethane to the fronds of the boat.So Now the boat is looking quite shinny. So many idea
