This boat is going together quickly. Part of this I attribute to stumbling on a much faster way to lash the joints. I have always done them one joint at a time. Since this boat is multi-chined there are a lot of joints. Matter of fact, there are 9 going from one gunwale to the other. I have always been a little concerned about lashing all the joints instead if lashing them one at a time but I decided to give it try.<\/p>\n

I pulled off nine times as much sinew as I normally do. I quickly realized this was going to be a mess so I cut a piece of 1″ dowel and wrapped the sinew around it. Once I tied off the end I started feeding the dowel with sinew around the gunwale. Right off the bat I found it saved a little time because I didn’t have to find my dowel or a block of wood to wrap the sinew around to pull it tight. I just used the the spool I had the sinew wrapped around.<\/p>\n

Since I don’t have to tie it off, cut a new length of sinew, tie the stopper knot and then start lashing 9 times I have found it is MUCH faster. I suspect it is at least\u00a0 twice as fast as doing individual lashings. My only concern was if a lashing breaks or is damaged and having nothing to stop it from coming undone. Of course, I have never had a lashing break in all the boats I have built so I don’t really see this as being a problem.<\/p>\n

So far I have 16 hours labor in it and the cost to this point is $150 (rounded off). I estimated a couple of those figures so that may change a little.\u00a0 That includes so far, plans, plywood, cedar for the stringer and sinew. I don’t count the strongback because it is not part of the boat and it can be taken apart and recycled for another use.<\/p>\n
