Update on the canadian drifter

Well there has been some progress on the drift boat, the frames have been assembled with stainless hardware and wet with epoxy in the joints. I would have to believe that if this thing comes apart it won't be because of those joints, that epoxy is bomb proof once it sets.

I need a shop clean up before we start to put all of this together. Hopefully I can get the stem and the stern together this week and start to put the keelson and the inner chine boards on.

Here are some pictures of where we are.

I have completed what I believe to be my strongback jig.

I have also completed the frames.

You can begin to see some of the lines of this boat at least the bottom and the one side. To all of you who are following that aren't experienced boat builders like Wayne-o and Noah it's built upside down.
