New Years Day stitching

started stitching on the side panels tonight. 

getting started wasnt easy but after 10 or so stitches it got easier

i started with the cross beams

they didnt want to go in but using a little bit of force helped

she got a lot more sturdy with the cross beams in place

another 40 or so stitches on each side and she really looks like a boat

my helper is starting to like the way she looks

i have some sore fingers after twisting all of that wire!!!

 hopefully top panels on tomorrow night then a lot measuring before starting the epoxy gluing
