Ready for bottom

I got the sides faired and the bottom stringers in.  I have to get some more wood...

 

Sides on

Got the other side on the boat.

Back on the duck

I had a few weeks where I had family matters to attend to so the duck languished.  But now I'm back...
I got one side on.  I'm using thickend resin for the sides and I'll use titebond II glue for the bottom.

Big Duck!!

I've got too many boat projects open..  My son Shane and I bought a big boat.  An Alberg 30.  This is a classic sail boat.   We are on target with that boat for an early spring sail. The boat is currently lying in Baltimore right around the corner from the Inner Harbor.  When we leave we will have to take a spin around the harbor...   I'll post pix from time to time.

As for the Duck, I got the shear and chine installed.

New Duck!

I had so much fun building the last two ducks that I thought I'd do another one.   Maby  I'll even try this one out!

Duck is done

I finished up the paint and varnish.  This boat is done.  I started this project Oct 15.  My goal was 6 weeks.  I think I can say I made it...

Bottom paint

I got two coats of paint on the bottom.  I sprayed it with my Critter sprayer.  The Critter takes Mason Ball jars as the paint can.  It's good that way because you can seal the paint back up for use later.  I'll probably do one more coat tomorrow.
