Deadeyes into Forward Channels

After sanding notches out and drilling Holes for the Deadeyes

Just taking a picture of the 1st one… I’m not sure if this is right, but I’m just going to leave it so the Gun Port Door will be able to open.

Holes for Deadeyes

Sorry… Got distracted with other stuff…

Deadeyes into Midship Channels

I went to close to the edge on the one that’s furthest to the right. I’m leaving it though.

Trying to get the alignment right.

Deadeyes into After Channels

I had to modify the Channels that were provided in the kit because I didn’t like how they were notched. They weren’t evening up with the Gun Ports.

This necessitates that I do each DeadEye after inserting them through the Channel holes. Then I put the nail in. Before which I wrap the wire around it.

Making these Channels…

Gluing some 1.5x 3mm braces underneath

Stern set in

I used Dap Weldwood Contact Cement for this. And after I get all the Channels in, I’ll dribble some Superglue along the seams to harden them.
