Finished Scraping The Hull

Doug Smith
I finished scraping the inside of the hull this past weekend. I enjoyed this part of the build, as it didn’t involve any epoxy or electric power tools (ie ROS).

I started to earnestly scrape the inside of the canoe this morning. I had previously tried using a regular paint scraper with the blade rounded by file and grinder - the scraper needs to be rounded to accommodate the concave surface inside the hull.

Sunday was sort of a big day for me, as I finally got to take the Freedom off of the strongback.
