Structurally Sound

Wow.  Pretty sure that's almost all that comes to mind.  Well, maybe the beginning of all that comes to mind.  Today was a full day.

Started the day by checking last nights scarf joints.  It was the best one yet.  Think we got that part dialed.  Here is the second side fully scarfed.  Gary laying out the first side beyond.
 Multi-tasking
 First side is cut.  Except the tricky bottom cut with the radius.
 Cutting one of the sides.
 There it is.  Finished side.  Once both were cut we clamped them together and faired the panels.
 Completed side panel.  Doesn't look like much of a boat yet...

 Got the Stem Post attached and glued to the sides.  We needed lots of room.
 The temp frames were both a gift and a curse.
 Hmm.  I think it looks like a boat!
 Didn't get a lot of pictures of the boat coming together.  I was just a little busy.  We ended up installing all of the cedar frames.  It is now time to get the inner chine logs ready to go.  But first, we must enjoy the fruits of our labor!

 Shot of the Frames.
 The happy team.

Today is a milestone day.  A day we will savor, but there is always more to be done.  Chines, bottom, glassing, decks, and on and on....
