Tammy is able to hammer nails into place (top) after Maurice has drilled preparation holes (bottom).During the February sessions each group worked on getting the chine logs adhered to their canoes. From their original groups they were broken down into 3 task groups. One group had the task of getting the seats ready, while the other two groups each took one side of the canoe to work on. They had to begin by measuring off equidistant spots as to where the holes would be placed in preparation for the hammering of many nails. During this activity many participants were able to use a power drill for the first time. The kids really felt empowered given the use of this tool. The progress they are making will allow for their canoes to take an actual shape during the March sessions.
Looking forward, the public is always invited to our session at the McNasby Building. Our next building dates are Saturdays March 7th and 14th. Also, if you are downtown the first weekend of May for the Annapolis Maritime Heritage Festival, keep an eye out for the participants painting their canoes as part of the Annapolis Maritime Museum booth.
