Joining of the woods • The wood used to make boats is generally bought with the dimensions of 8 by 4 feet. • In order to get the frame right, you must apply liquid epoxy on the edges of the wood that are being connected, then put them together and glue a piece of ply to both sides of the seam.

  10. Epoxy • Epoxy is the most vital part in the boat building process • It is an adhesive that is used to keep the wood from letting water in.

  11. Lofting • The process of drawing a full size sketch of the boat to see the sizes and dimensions of the boat.

  12. Painting • To finish off your boat you are making, you chose what color you want to paint it • You should look for a paint that is good over epoxy
