Okay - I haven't figured out this BLOG business yet, and I want to post some pics from the week-long course at Wooden Boat School, so these are going to be out of chronological order. Sorry! Here is the boat-shaped object toward the end of the

week at Wooden Boat School. This is the morning after we glued the rail to the hull and fastened it with clamps. Lots of clamps.

Still, when I got my boat-shaped object home,

I learned that the rail had split at the widest part of the hull. One of the first things we did was to mix a glue-type epoxy (2 types of slow-hardening epoxy and the white stuff), slather it on the split rail and clamp it down. It came out fine.
