Great tip fitting the Pad Eye ! Your use of adhesive backed sand paper, to match the hull shape, would work great, fitting seat cleats on a canoe ! Thanks Nick !
Hi Nick, Thank you for this last video, I learned again a lot and you gave me the idea to also make wooden eyes for my sailboat burgee halyard and the mast lift and any bullseye for changing line direction, because I want to have as few hardware pieces on the boat as possible as wood clear or painted looks better than stainless steel. Will you still show us how this skeg control is working it looks for me like lowering a centerboard on a sailboat ?
It will be a little while before I get the skeg functioning in this build, but you can see the final set up in my Petrel Play build: ruclips.net/video/ieXXj2xFsiE/видео.html
Hi Nick. How do you decide where to place the Cheek Plates? I am building the Siskiwit Bay from PaddlingLight and it doesn't have the Cheek Plates in its plan. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
On the pad eye a nice bronze or brass sleeve would look and add class to the eye. It will also help from wearing the hole larger as time goes on. Nick, the Rigid belt sander you are using do you remember which model you have?
Bronze could look nice.

Most 5-minute epoxy with a 1:1 mix is really pretty poor stuff. It does not hold up to water well. However, if it is supplemented with glass over the top saturated with the regular epoxy, 5-minute would likely be fine in this application.
The devil is in the details. Fantastic job with all the miscellaneous fittings. I was going to ask about the offset skeg box but found the answer in the comments section of the previous video.
I would rather not talk price here. It isn't relevant to what I'm trying to accomplish with these videos. But, think along the lines of what several hundred hours of an auto mechanic would cost.

Its a good technique for a lot of things. You will see it again when I put on the outer stems.
Looking real sharp Nick.

Excellent as always!!!

@@NickSchade thanks Nick
Since the padeye is going to be glassed in placed, would a 5 minute epoxy have been acceptable for strength and saved you some wait time?
Most 5-minute epoxy with a 1:1 mix is really pretty poor stuff. It does not hold up to water well. However, if it is supplemented with glass over the top saturated with the regular epoxy, 5-minute would likely be fine in this application.
Nick Schade, thanks. I was thinking of the JBWeld with 4400 psi bond, but I don’t know anything about its water tolerance.
Loren Rademacher JB Weld would probably be ok, but you would need to be careful about the color

How much does a kayak cost? dollar value.
More than I could afford to spend on a kayak
Nick Schade what a great answer!
Yes, but you did not say the price.

No doubt.
OK. :-)
