I have been concentrating on getting work done, so not lots of time available to post to the blog. Sorry.

The baidarka is off of the mold, finally! I took the stations down and put the strongback away. Just doing this freed up so much space, just in time for spring. I'm loving it. So next step is to clean up the planking on the interior.

With this.

I use the angle grinder for a lot of tasks, and have gotten quite good with it. I would not recommend it to someone not expert with it. It could make a disaster of all your hard work very fast.

So here is the kayak interior all cleaned up, sanded, and ready for filling and fiber-glassing - but that will have to wait till I have time for it.
