I pestered VC to get me a simple boat kit, and he kindly obliged

Damn! it's that AMAZING workbench! it's BACK!! :(
your very lucky to get the time and space to have a dedicated workbench like that! :salute:

Hull build is straightforward. Could not bend the stringers enough to really get them in without snapping (no steam) so did some jugaad!

Thanks Aniket...don't put nazar on my workbench; I built it myself!

here's a easy way to bend balsa:: chew it.... not hard,just force saliva into it... then bend it into shape and hairdryer it....
but don't tell anyone you did this, or they'll think twice before   touching your boat.. :P
you can also use vinegar....

Wow! That is some work space you've got there Sir. Will you adopt me as a younger brother? ;D

Painting....dirty job. Plus I used Enamel (Oil Paint) which takes ages to dry!

sanjayrai55

OK, now only electronics left  :)

Chief, where do you plan to sail this. Yamuna looks dry. Oh you should've told me earlier, I just invested in a pilot spray paint gun from Chawri, we could've used it for painting the boat

And goes without saying...looks very good

Damdama has water  ;D

Which gun? Electric or air? If air, need compressor too
