 All right, sky kind of get some not rain long enough to fiberglass these two suckers All right, that's about two and a half layers wrapped around there probably want to double that I'm not sticking them together yet Because I want to have a bearing here and a bearing there So I want to put the bearings on there and then attach this to that And the bearings on the ends they just go on any time. Yeah still loads of space For fiberglass layers. I Want to make sure these are really strong Because I never want to have to repair them and I want to be able to pedal like hard as I want So it looks like the pedals are gonna go right across here. I'm gonna cut this part out And there'll be pedals here and there and right in the middle will be where the paddle wheel is I'm gonna make it so people can sit facing forward for the pedals and facing backwards so you can have one two three four people pedaling I'm also thinking about Well, I want to have bearings on where you put your feet so I can put some kind of flat thing So it's more comfortable for your feet because I get bruised feet driving one of these for hours So put a bearing there and then I could put a stick way up to the front of the boat and have some Other pedal things So then people at the front could pedal too. So I better make sure these are super strong can handle any craziness I might do. Oh That looks like rain coming I only got the second layer on one of them Hmm, I don't think I'm gonna get the second layer on the other one today I don't know the sky's clear right there. Maybe it'll just keep going by like that Here getting closer. All right. I'm out of here. Oh Just heard thunder Not a good time to be out in the boat. Luckily, I don't want very far to go rain yet today It just keeps looking like it's threatening to No I'm gonna try doing some fiberglass Hopefully it doesn't rain They just like that like that's fine I've got roughly eight layers of fiberglass on those now. They should be strong Like really strong. I think Pretty nice in the boat Put this in there so it'll be all lined up straight then fiberglass this connection Double checker. That means I'm gonna have to cut this floor out now and then flip the boat over smack it up flip it Think before I want to do that though I want to wax the bottoms of the pontoons so the dirt doesn't stick to the resin All right, we'll cut this out right now. Ah good thing. I brought my angle grinder Where do I cut I guess up here? I mean, it's pretty obvious straight across Back here though You know the bottom part I'll cut straight across this part. I think I'll try to keep as close to this as I can Yeah Hold on a second I could keep these sidewalls Because they're attached in the right spot here and if I disconnected them all along there Straighten them out so they went straight back instead of at an angle Then that could be where the the middle bearing goes through and then I can attach the you know the housing for the paddle wheel to that hmm All right, maybe I'll cut along here around there And cut the bottom off and then see see if this will just bend in a little bit Unsatisfactory unsatisfactory I only brought one wheel because like that never happens Okay, everything just stay right here. I'll be right back All right, and one of those for any corner. I pedal boated to town and back yesterday Some my legs are all wobbly the heads, you know spinning a little bit not really spinning a little dizzy Just kind of wiped out. I think that's why I Broke that disc because my coordination was off. So I need that need to focus Focus on coordination Might have to score that a little bit right there. So this isn't curving But yeah, it looks like they're pretty good Should be able to put a hole in there hole in there and then put a bearing on top of here here there there Everything that goes straight through And they're pretty close to matching up with this piece back here. So that'll be easy to connect Well, it was kind of hard to flip over by myself Although I think it's because this tube and those tubes back there have drain holes at the bottom and out of the top So they were full of water Yep Maybe not full and that is a cool boat. Why'd I ever stop using it as a boat? I mean, I know why I made a different boat. That was bigger Yeah, this one's gonna get some good use again There was another reason that I stopped using this as a boat because I got all these bubbles in the fiberglass along the bottom. I Don't remember what it's called, but it's a fairly common thing It's not gonna happen now partly because I did a better job on the bottom But also I'm gonna keep it out of the water when it's not driving Moving on Well, I decided to take those things right off I'm gonna put this nice rounded edge along the bottom Because the top edge of this is probably just gonna get a continuation to the Paddle cover And that bottom edge will be nice to have near the bearing to keep it from moving Ah, these things aren't even straight. Ah, forget it. I've been staring at this for 20 minutes Trying to figure out what to do next I think I need to go think somewhere else Yeah Well, I think the main issue right now is I need to make Like some kind of pieces to go across here that are flat sheets. I don't have anything flat on this island
