Skerry build day 7: Sanding and marking

I spend all day today sanding the finger joints smooth. The process was fairly painful as some of the joints were not as well aligned as I thought they were. Also, the epoxy thickened with silica is quite a pain to sand through. But in the end I had some pretty flat boards that will hopefully hold together well.

The next step in the process was to mark the frame positions on the bottom frame, and to drill the holes for the wire stitches. That went smoothly though it takes a while if you doublecheck everything.

Time: 2 hours (sanding), 2 hours (marking & drilling)
Total: 23 hours
