Vaka cradles

This week end we started to think how to assemble the main hull. This is going to be more work than the ama hulls because of the size of the side panels. The designer suggests to assemble the hull right side up, so gravity is going to work against us; hence, we'll need cradles. So we spent five hours to design, cut pieces, and assemble the cradles on wheels for the main hull. Those are the times when the lack of professional equipment and elbow room show up more seriously: a table saw and a press drill would have made things way faster. Anyway, here is one of the cradles, completely assembled. The base is about 75 cm x 60 cm.

Total work time to date: 240 hours
