Prepping for construction

Posted on July 25, 2020August 17, 2020 By Mike No Comments on Prepping for construction
Kayak Building, Sabalo 12 MK1

Still waiting for the plans to arrive. I’ve started making space in the garage and made a table to work on. It seems a table and sling would both be helpful, for now this is just a table, have an idea for a sling.

I added a 2×3 framed top from a door from Ikea onto an existing work table I had. Can’t beat a nice smooth top for $15 from as-is. The extra room will be needed for the size of the kayak.

I’ve ordered epoxy and Fiberglass from Raka. The reviews are great on this epoxy and it sounds very easy to use. It doesn’t hurt that the price was amazing even with ups brokerage.

Another view of the table. Some hand tools can be seen on the bottom. I picked up some more clamps, block plane, Japanese pull saw, another square. Looking at build photos maybe I need more clamps. Also might as well order some sandpaper for my ros or see what I have left. Have tons for sanding by hand but my ros stock might be low.
