Building the 'Sinbad 2' kit - continued:
The seat tops are bedded in epoxy thickened with Aerosil and weights provide the necessary pressure. Once the glue has set, the seat box edges will be trimmed and rounded off.	The aft section can now be put aside and the forward half started. Once both are at the same stage, they will be joined up and the outwale and various knees glued on.
A close up of the chine from the outside, which will be glassed after the outwales are done and the boat separated again.	Another close up, this time at the mid-bulkhead. The copper ties have been broken off by multiple bending.
The forward bottom panels have been stitched loosely while lying on top of each other, insides together and then opened up.	Ties have been tightened and the topsides added.
Forward mid-bulkhead dry fit, using the small particle board screw technique.	A close up of the bulkhead glued in, note the screws have plywood "washers". This avoids dimples in the plywood from the heads.
Checking general fit with bow transom just wedged in.	Placing the foredeck allows another check to be made. This shows up distortion quickly.
