Stitching

Today the boat goes 3D. 

The building process is called "Stitch and Glue".  First the panels are stitched together to get the desired shape of the boat. Then you glue the panels together for a permanent, water-tight bond. Then remove the stitches.

First I drilled 1/8" holes every six inches. I used 4"long thin cable ties to stitch the boat. I then needed to jostle all the pieces so everything would fit. Finally I tightened the cable ties.


Wow starting to look like a boat! There was much relief when everything fit. Phew!
