Sanding down the toilet seat

The cockpit coaming sanded down fairly rapidly, and when you start shaping the round-over with the sander, it's easy enough to keep everything symmetrical and smooth, because there are more plies in the coaming than flies at a picnic, and so you can really see clearly whether things are even or not. Just keep the thing looking right as you sand and in the end, it will look right.

Here are some more pictures of the sanded coaming. It's a nice mix of easy-to-do and looks-really-good, which makes it a particularly satisfying part of the project. And I have no idea why some people call this type of kayak cockpit a toilet seat.
