Building the TotalBoat work skiff - The Guards (Episode 29)

It's time to add the guards to our skiff, all important in its finished look, but also for protection from bumps and scrapes throughout the life of the boat.

Before applying the guards, Lou shows how to correctly nail down the floor planks, using a small but heavy sledge hammer to drive the heavy nails needed to secure these floor planks. Remember, we just "steer the hammer" on its way down.

Lastly in preparing the guards for mounting, Lou shows us how to bevel off the bottom edge of the guards and so they look a little nicer and won't catch up on anything when we mount them on the boat for final fastening.
