Day 5 - Starting to Take Shape

Today I cut out the various seat supports from the 3/8" plywood. I drilled holes in the bow seam of the side pieces and loosly stitched them together with plastic zip-ties. Then I started the process of attaching the seat supports (which also give the boat it's distinctive curves). The 1/4" plywood sides bent very easily over the supports. I found that using Gorilla Glue and wood screws seemed to work the best (small nails kept pulling out).

Woohoo! It looks like a boat!

This part took me about 3 hours
