Spent last Friday with my neighbour gluing just one of the inwales on. We ran out of clamps and couldn't fit the other side so left it to set overnight then glued the other on the next day.
Waited until Sunday then dry fitted the outwales, these were much easier to form due to the smaller cross section however I can't get the outwale to follow the exact curve of the top panel (same goes for the inwales too) - it's about 10mm or so down. This is fine as I'll grind down the excess a bit later.
I cut down the centre thwart/ portage yoke to size and drilled a hole through the inwale and thwart. Need to get the right stainless screws now. I don't know whether to glue and screw the thwart or just leave the screws in for the time being... we'll see.
Trying to source the bolts (M6x120mm ish) for the seats, also need to get a length of wooden dowel and drill a hole through the middle so they can be used as a spacer for the seat.
