Going 3D

I spent the last couple of days cutting the deck supports that attach to the frames, and then gluing them.  One of them slid while I was clamping it and I didn't notice it until I removed the clamps after the poxy had set.  That means I had to cut if off.  In doing so I managed to mess up the face of the bulkhead pretty badly.  Luckily it will be out of sight on the inside face of a compartment.  I filled it in with thickened epoxy most of the way.  I will fill it in the rest of the way next time I glue some stuff, and then sand it flat.  So it cost me some time and a little extra epoxy, which isn't too bad.

I cleaned up the panels this morning, scarping the epoxy squeeze out.  After lunch, I built a small support structure out of scrap particle board as the table was going to be a bit too tall.  It consists of a couple of notched pieces that slot together to form an x.  Then I put a couple of 2x4 across it.  You can see it in the pics below.

The support structure was so I had something to put the hulls panels on as I stitched them together.  After a couple of hours and just under 100 zip ties later...

Now it at least looks boat-like.  Tomorrow I'll stitch in the bulkheads and get everything adjusted and by the end of the week I will hopefully have the hull all glued together.
