Another short day in the shop but that is starting to be the norm. First order of business was to put a new top on my ‘ladder’ strongback.. I had 2″ lumber on top but it was just to heavy and hard to move around.
Once that was done I started setting up the keel brackets. These line up the keel and create the rocker in the keel strip.
After that I started to temporarily insert the frames that get mounted and put in some stringers. I can already see the sweep of the sheer and I love it! Need to fill some orders so it is going to be a couple of days before I can get back to this one.

Sure doesn’t take long in the process before is starts looking like a boat. Can’t wait till the next episode!
Me too…. can’t wait to see more. And to try this one out when it’s done. THIS is the boat style I keep talking about!
It should be ready for you to try in few weeks Susy. 😉
Wow it looks like a boat already. really enjoying the build and watching with interest hopefully will be building one myself.
Great! thanks for the share!
