Today me and Taz have been sending the Bottom of the boat.
Before you start sanding make sure the table that your work is on is CLEAN! and no way to damage your work.
In order to get an successful sanding you have to sand with the direction of the grain, other ways you would get scratch marks on you wood, also make sure you use a block of wood with an sand paper on it to keep it leveled and straight so there wont be any bumps. For eg: if your sanding with the sand paper in your hands( without block of wood) the gaps on your fingers would make it hard to get it leveled.

Team
The way that I understand having a strong team is by:
1. To have an good team you must work with people you can trust
2. The team to give support to each other and have high spirit
3. Must be keeping up to the timetable
4. The work to be done in a high standard level
5. If some one is falling behind give them a hand to catch them up
6. Every one to be at the workshop on time to late and not missing days out
7. Team work is the most important
8. Finish the project...

Scarfing the Bottom & Gluing
On the 26th October, I was scarfing the Bottom Part of the boat.
Scarfing is easy once you get used to it, but i run into few problems while i was scarfing.
Problem No.1: I didn't clamp the wood properly on the table from all sides, the Solution to that was, I asked the other teams if they can describe to me about the clamping and how they did it.
Problem No.2: The plane wasn't sharp so it didn't cut properly, Solution: make the plane Sharpe.
Once the bottom peaces have been scarfed it was time to get it glued. The proses for the glue to set it takes 1 whole day. When i was gluing i found out that i didn't use the proper wood to press pressure with. i used MDF. The MDF its a soft timber which will absorb the pressure im putting on,Also that i didn't leave any space to see the joint gluing which made it hard to tell if the joint is in the correct place. The Solution to these problems were: I asked other teams about what wood to use and they told me ( pine wood ) which is much stronger then MDF. And to also to leave little bit of space where the joint is gluing so we can see if the joint is in the proper place.
