We have all the wood and glue at the school. I have cab-o-sil, micro spheres, squeegees, chip brushes, gloves and all the fiberglass tape we'll need. I still need to get/make mixing sticks and a supply of containers for mixing. I still have to figure out the best way to dispense 30 gallons of epoxy so we don't spill and waste it. The kids are bringing saw horses and sheets of MDL to make workbenches. They are also bringing an assortment of jigsaws, drills, sanders and other assorted tools. All they really need to build this boat is a jig saw and a drill so I think we'll be ok as far as tools go.

I'm heading for Home Depot this afternoon to pickup dust masks, some plastic sheet to cover the gym floor, and a few odds and ends. I'm planning on heading for the school this afternoon to see if I can't get a head start on scarfing the bottom panels. Since this boat is wider than 48" on the bottom, we have to scarf up 4 pieces to make the bottom. If I can get the first 1/2 of the scarfs done on each of the 8 boats, that will put us one day ahead of schedule in terms of waiting on stuff to dry.

Our work hours this week are 8am to 3pm, later if necessary. I expect Wednesday to be a long day. There are 18 boys building 8 boats. Lunch is brown bag, bring your own.
