Almost dinner time, so a short post. We started building two Monhegan skiffs on Tuesday afternoon. One will be 9.5 feet and the other will be 11.5. Today is Friday and we already have about half the bottom boards nailed onto the 9.5 foot one. Once it comes off the jig, we can start the other boat.

This was the last thing we worked on today: nailing on the bottom boards:

Lacing leather onto the oars where they'll rest in the oarlocks:
