33) Thwart Dry Fitting

My seat and thwart bolts are silicon bronze (ordered from Newfound Woodworks). I just got the shipment, so I decided to dry fit the thward. Drilling holes in my new inwales took some courage. I spent a long time scarfing, cutting, gluing and measuring these inwales. I would hate to screw it up with a misplaced hole. So I measured 3 times and took the plunge. Installation was actually very uneventful, but the thwart adds a lot of visual appeal to the canoe.
Don't worry mom, here is proof that I wear my safety goggles.
