More woodwork, jah. Here's No.2 being fitted up. The funky cleats on the chine logs are to cure a slight twist in the ply.

Satisfied with the fit-up, I took everything out and wet out the end grain on the frame and floor, and the bare locations on the hull. After they were done off-gassing, on went the thickened epoxy followed by the fillets. Here's No. 2 all bonded in. "R2D2" continues to stand watch in the fo'c's'le.

Nice how everything comes together!
Thanks' for this picture.

Wes,

Thank you very much for this brochure and information. No. 5 is "basic" without pumps, oilers, piping, etc., but more than I ever expected to have.

Engine pumps - piston and ram:

What Miss Ann calls a "pretty" shot: fitting up the pump links.

Merry Christmas from my works to yours!
