It takes time to build the shell of a wood strip canoe. I use bungee cord instead of nails to secure the wood strips tot he forms. This technique avoids all of the tiny holes that would need to be filled. It's a neat trick, but time consuming.

What's the Funk Doing #5 (cove cut & glue)

# data[].attributes.body
This video highlights the delicate cove cut for gluing onto the canoe. I do this in pairs, one for each side. That way I'm not damaging the edges while doing other work in the barn.

This video demonstrates the first cutting profile for the wood strips.  I use a router table, and several roller stands to handle the 12 feet of material.  The trick is to avoid breaking the pieces, as there are many insect holes compromising the strength of the strips.

I spent an hour trying to get this just right after I learned how to work this out.

This week me and my mom baked no bake cookies. The hardest part was when we were setting the boiling temperature.

I made food for my family which were biscuts and eggs and the thing that was most tricky were the eggs because I've never made eggs before.

The popsicle blend turned out well. The kiwis were quite tart so I may choose an additional ingredient in the future to balance the flavors.

Cutting the long boards into thin strips is trick.. There needs to be a lot of support before and after the cut. A steady hand is also a necessity.

To make the breakfast sandwiches I used two cans of biscuits, four eggs, and 8 sausages. I had to use two cans of biscuits because they were not big enough with just one, I made four sandwiches and used one egg for each, and then I started with one sausage on the first two, but they were smaller than everything else, so I added another half to the other two.

# data[].attributes.body
Today I made a mixture of 3 kiwis, 6 ounces of blackberries, and a third cup of milk. I put the mixture in the freezer and they will be done tomorrow.

I baked Banana Chocolate Muffins and the most thing that was tricky was cracking a large egg. What went well was mashing the bananas and having fun with it and I used a potato masher.

I knitted a sweater for my dog. It is multiple colors and it fits her very well.

I made honey garlic chicken for dinner and I learned that chicken does not take very long to cook

# data[].attributes.body
I made breakfast sandwiches. In the beginning I put the biscuit in the eggs and the eggs and biscuits cooked into each other, so then I let the eggs cook for a little while before I put the top on it worked much better.

I made a drawstring bag, I learned what was the best needle and what stich I should use. It was hard to sew at the top because you do not to sew the strings. To make it I used a needle some thread string and a piece of cloth I found in my house. If you want to make one make sure you start with it inside out so the edges look good.

Over all the trial and error process was fun and easy to mess around with and if I where to do this again I would try to make the cake a little less sticky because the last cake had an issue of sticking to the pan but over all this was very fun.

Cake 3 - cake three was nearly perfect it was like a cake you could buy from a store and the texture and consistency  was good and even throughout the whole cake.

# data[].attributes.body
cake 2 - cake two was inconsistent through out it meaning it did not cook evenly and it was still on the dry side so I decided I would add more eggs, more sugar, and less milk.

# data[].attributes.body
instructions - over all my instructions where great and everything was good in this area no changes were made throughout this step of the process

# data[].attributes.body
I made three cakes seeing which one came out as best consistency  documenting each one.
Cake 1 - cake one was dry and had more of a bread like taste so I decided that on the next cake i was going to add more sugar and butter, but less milk
