I got an early start on things this morning, after sleeping in a tent pitched in the yard with my younger sons. The weather was clearer than I’m used to seeing here on the central Oregon coast, so we got to leave the rainfly off of the tent.
Despite a couple interruptions from emergency lockout calls, and some family errands, I managed to do all the work with the red pieces that I cut out yesterday. I put the binding on the all the curved edges , assemble the top deck, put the longer sleeve on the larger wing pieces. Then I did some finish work on the top deck with a new hot knife (I had to fetch one from the craft store, because my last one burnt out last Spring), and finished off the top deck with a pocket on the nose end.
Now the top deck is ready to be joined to the top of the front box assembly, and the larger wing pieces are waiting to have a reinforcement that helps connect it to the medium wing piece.
