Day 1 - The peoples view

So you've seem what we did, now I'll show you how we did it.

To Build your boat you will need the following tools:
Clamps
A Jigsaw
A Drill
More Clamps
Beer

So we clamped a plank of timber to the table and put the traced plan over it. Then using the jigsaw we cut around it leaving a bit of space for planning.

Cian starts it off, note the sunglasses instead of goggles (Couldn't find any)

Eoin Studies the curve of the frame and decides that its just not right.

I correct the curve of the frame under Eoins guidance

Eoin Finishes off the top of the frame.

Liz and Cian Admire Eoins work on Finishing the top of the Frame.

And there you have it one half of one frame in one day!

Disclaimer: Events protrade above may have happened in a different order or not at all. Pictures may have been taken posed. Any similarity between studing the frame and pooing is entirely humorious.

Boat Building - Day 1

Well work has begun on the boat. A bunch of us started cutting out the frames last week. The following is what was done on Day 1.

This is what we built!

And using the power of paint we can see what it is ment to look like

In terms of scale the above is around the length on my leg. It still needs some planeing but otherwise it seems to match up to the plans quite well so thats good. Speaking of plans:

The first thing that had to be done was to trace out the frames.

This was done with the aid of greaseproof paper.

The wood has been ordered from woodworkers.ie and will be ready on Tuesday for collection.

Woohoo! Lets get this show started!

The plans.

There is alot of them.
