Lolly sticks

Spent what little time I had this week continuing to insert the lolly stick spacers between the chines. This whole operation took a lot longer than I expected because at the same time I had to blend the lower bilge panel with the others because of it being too long. This I did with an angle grinder and an old sanding disc which worked pretty well.

I needed a flat surface so I placed the canoe on my ladder which in turn was placed on the trestles and squared up. Used the spirit level to check the flatness and skew of the top panel which for the most part is pretty good. The aft bulkhead was a little high so I placed a couple of bricks on it and left it over night.
