Router
One of the things I missed out on in childhood was woodshop class. Even though my father taught some of the high school woodshop classes -- and don't I miss his skills now! -- I was too busy with all those honors science, math and English classes to learn some practical skills. So now, 24 years later, I get to find out what I missed all those years ago. With a roundover bit, I went over the edges of bulkheads and seating surfaces to take the sharp edge off the plywood where needed. I quickly got the hang of things, and it went pretty quickly. With a short break to discuss the life of Mozart (don't ask), I was able to prep all the internal pieces of the boat that are to be coated with epoxy before the much-anticipated stitching step. Total hours 11.50.

Pete,
Love your blog! Especialy the total hour counter. I am thinking of building a passagemaker myself. I have a fair bit more woodworking experience than you do, but it sounds like you're going along just fine. Like you I started woodworking as an adult, so a lot of the joys and hassels you are going through are so very familiar!
I'll keep an eye on your progress and root for your success!
What on earth does Mozart have to do with a router?
