Canoe Update
Jun. 7th, 2011 08:20 pmThe canoe ... well, I didn't do much of anything on it last week.
This week I started trying to do what I meant to do last week. However "scarf gunwales" (meaning cut out the bad parts of the gunwale wood, like knots or wild grain or cracks that might make a weak spot where the gunwale would break later, and epoxy the good wood back together to make long enough parts to be gunwales), which I had thought would take a day or perhaps two at the outside, has been much more of a production than I expected.
( Full(ish) story here )
Next time I think I'll just spend the money to get long enough wood with good grain and no knots.
In the meantime I am working on a couple of new songs,neither of which is anywhere near being ready to post. I am also trying to get ready to record tomorrow morning, speaking of which it is time to go practice. Tomorrow I will see whether the sealing earbuds screen out the metronome clicks or not. And try recording SwanMay.
Plus I really need to keep working with Audacity so I don't forget what I've learned.
