Falling into place

Gar and I went down to the hardware store this weekend and got the tools we need.  From Ace Hardware in Exeter: chisels, a rubber hammer, and a chopping axe.  From Woodcraft in Portsmouth: a rounded Pfiel adze (handmade in Switzerland).  Total cost: $147.97.  Pretty good for the scale of the project.  We're trying to get some money from the library to offset our own costs.  Dunno how that's going to go yet.

Facilities also moved the log today.  Neither of us were expecting that.  It's currently sitting on the grass behind Webster.  Unfortunately, we didn't get the chance to talk to them, and they moved up the wrong log.  It's the log we originally intended to use, so it's not the end of the world, but if possible, we're going to try and get a slightly longer log, so we can make a canoe that is that much bigger.  I lost the memory card to my camera so no picture yet, but it's coming.
