Ready to start assembly

Panels beveled, marked and drilled for assembly

It has been a busy four days since I picked up my wood last Friday.  Over the weekend I managed to get the plans lofted and luckily caught and fixed my lofting mistake.  Yesterday I cut out the sides and bottom panels with my new pullsaw and went to pickup epoxy supplies at SystemThree.   Today I have beveled the edges of the panels, marked them up for drilling and fiberglass tape and got holes drilled on the bottom panel for wires.   This afternoon I am going to a friend’s house to use their table saw and cut rails.   So, I’m ready to roll on assembly tomorrow which is video #5 in the series of 30-odd videos on building this boat.    Hoping to get the sides wired onto the bottom tomorrow so I can loft out and cut the transom and bow pieces and then get those prepped and wired in on Thursday.   Within a week I’ll have gone from a stack of wood to something resembling a boat hull.   Hopefully by then it will have warmed up enough that I can start with epoxy work.
