The Pond Treader
This is where I will document the Voyage of the Pond Treader, my small sailboat
I'm building. It will be of the PDRacer class. (

Sep 21, 2007 ~~_/) AHOY! We've hit land!!
 |
I sort of stopped taking pictures for a while. I'm a slacker. My wife said "Well, she looks like she can handle any waves that land has to throw at her at least..."

Aug 14, 2007 ~~_/) Still Going 3D!
 |
Just a shot of the side of the boat. Keep in mind, it's upside down at this point. |
| This is a shot of the angle of the bow. |

Aug 12, 2007 ~~_/) Going 3D!
 |
Here, I've got it dry fitted together waiting for glue. I spent a good bit of
time fitting all of the different pieces together and sanding on areas that
didn't quite fit.

July 11, 2007 ~~_/) Minor Progress on the side frames
|
You can see the cleat/cline attached to one of the boards here. I accidentally attached the cline to the wrong side of the other sideframe and then quickly had to remove it before the glue completely set. Even though it'd only been there for about 2 minutes, it was already setting up. Titebond II is good stuff.

July 6, 2007 ~~_/) The Preface
|
This is the lumber that will be used to build my boat. Right now, I'm in the
gathering/planning stage.
