Boat Building: Week 1


Parents, Family, and Friends,
We are one week into our building project and as you can see below- making very good progress! Thank you to our phenomenal building instructors, Hannah and Josh! 
First step: Assembling Saw Horses

Working on scarph joints
learning about Tensile Strength
...and more sawing!


Sawing
Sawing
Oh, and planing, too!
Don't forget the Math!

Using plans to calculate where to cut



90* angles, center, and perpendicular

And now to start assembling the boat!
Putting together the frame

Done!












 

Leveling the sides before attaching the bottom

Just over half done!
Thanks to all your hard work, David, Eli, Silas, Ethan,  Kipp, Nadya, and Carter!

We will be finishing the boat Monday and Tuesday, then painting on Wednesday and Thursday. 

All parents and families are invited to come watch our official Launch on Friday, August 2nd.  

Mrs. Gausman
