| Too many pictures to wait any longer ! Gluing the scarf on the Skerry's sole. It's cold: -5°C outside and 0°C in my tent. For the epoxy to cure, I heat it with 2 small electric heaters, and I cover the whole thing with this old sleeping bag. | Cutting the gain which allows the planks to land side by side at the stem. I have tried several tools but the best combination is a chisel and a sanding block, guided by the small board held by two clamps. | Starting to stitch the sole and the two garboards. I have already cut one of the four copper wire rolls to make stitches. | ||
 |
||||
| Done with stitching the sole and garboards. | Installing the structure. | The number 2 planks are stitched. | ||

 |
||
| Starting with plank 3 on the right side. | Finishing plank 3 on the left side. | Stitching complete. Now I must wait until the weather warms up a bit to start gluing and filetting with epoxy... | ||
