We're getting pretty close to finishing up and launching our TotalBoat Sport Dory!!! In this week's Episode we answer some great questions from our audience as well as taking a close look at how Lou installs the guards and inwhales. The guards go on first and are made out of one long piece of lumber. We will cut a 45 degree bevel on bottom side of each guard using a fence attached to our table saw. The pieces will then be bedded down with polysulfide and wood screws. The inwhales are slightly more complicated. Made out of much lighter pieces of lumber they will run inside the boat from the breasthook all the way to the transom. We need to transfer a series of angles and measurements in order to get the fit close and then use a final saw-fit cut to make the piece fit tightly into position. The inwhales are then secured to the boat with rivets that go directly through the guards and each frame.
