My little 12-year old engineer-in-training updated her boat

Last year my little girl, all of just 12, re-riveted "her" boat. This year I asked her what her plans were ... as I told her I had to put a new transom on it. She wanted to paint it blue and add a stripe. I told the seats were a tad ratty looking too, as you can see in the photos below.

See: https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=41042

Here's the results below ... and now she knows how to sand, pop-rivet, use a rivet gun and bucking tool, paint with a brush, knows how to roll & tip (she likes tipping best), knows the difference between a regular screwdriver and a Phillips head and knows the advantaged/disadvantages of using a bolt versus a screw.

We also added a rubrail, as depicted here: https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=43157

wow !! very impressive.
tell your little girl that her paint job is far better than some
of the ones I have seen here on the old interweb by men 3 times her age !!!!

good job, Young Lady !!!

That is awesome. Time to find more projects for her.

Looks great. It would be helpful to have someone that size to get into all of the nooks and crannies when I am working on my boats.

Well done!
