woot!



finally! i am getting something done!






here you can see the warped 2x4 strong back, next to the plywood box-beam. the box turned out to be the way to go, and if i build another boat, i will go with the box again.












the forms all in place. getting excited! the fun starts soon!








the first few strips in place...now the hard part is NOT trying to do too much at once. i feel like i could spend all day laying strips, but i think i need to let the glue dry on the first few, before i start going crazy...maybe i will do some more later.
i told a friend of mine (who made a strip-built canoe) that i was building a kayak, and the first thing he asked me was if i had enuf clamps. i thought he was just joking around, but now i wonder if i do have enuf....
