John and Lulu contemplate the best route through a blow down on the North Fork. This could quite possibly be the first wooden drift boat on the North Fork of the Shenandoah River.
The boat loaded and ready for it’s maiden voyage down the North Fork of the Shenandoah River.
Transom Anchor Pulley Assembly with rope and anchor installed.
John sands the gunnels in preparation for varnish ……. six coats of varnish to be exact.
The interior has been painted. Now sand some more on the gunnels and the rest of the brightwork to prepare it for varnish. Almost fishing!
John and Lulu measuring for the length of the oars. A little water under the boat would make it perfect! Fishing season is here!
The boat is back from having Linex put on the bottom. This lining will provide protection from the ledges the Shenandory is bound to hit! Next comes painting the outside…. hopefully this weekend! As a side note: Three years into the life of this boat and the Linux still performs flawlessly!! I strongly recommend it.
Both pulleys installed (one near the front of the rowers seat and one near the transom) and John cleaning up. Once the peanut butter on the pulleys sets up it is back to sanding. It will not be long until the boat is upside down again and we are doing the final filling of the […]
One of two installed pulley’s for the anchor rope. The bottom of this photo is the fillet where the floor and transom meet.
Applying epoxy/wood flour mix (peanut butter) to the Anchor Pully Blocks to be attached to the floor for the Anchor Rope.
