Today, I started by cutting out a Piece of 1/32" Birch ply for the transom. And a Piece for the inside of the transom as well . I then Laid out the hole in the transom, for wich the Tiller to goes thru . I then transfered the layout marks on the 2 pieces of Bich ply, and cut out the slot . I next glued the 2 pieces of Bich ply on the Transom . Then I faired the ply in with the rest of the Hull starting at the Keel and working my way over the top of the transom. ( this helped give the top of the Transom the correct shape ) Then I could not wait any longer and had to cut the sheer on the Cockpit Coamings .The Coamings have not been glued in and will be installed at finishing stage. Next the Coamings and the Transom will get Stain . Here are the results

First, I have to say that this has been one of those Builds that is hard to put down, Today I decided to make and install the decks, First I sealed up the forward compartments , Then I cut out the Decks and the Camber strips for on top of the bulkheads wich the deck will sit on, that way the deck will flow properly. Once the deck pieces fit to satisfaction they were glued into posistion . I then faired the deck with the Hull , and did a final Fairing . Now the exterior and deck are ready to be sealed with West System epoxy . I then dry fit the Coamings that were made yesterday , I still have not cut the sheer into them yet, The Coamings will be installed when I get to the finishing stage and at that time I will cut in the sheer . I wedged a peice of scrap to hold the Coamings snug and in place. Here are the results

Hello Steve, On the real thing the boards are 6" . Mine are at 12 " wide to allow for the seat back ( other wise its 2 pieces ) that size lumber is available from Flounder bay Boat lumber. ( I have purchased alot of lumber from them in the past ) They are made from one piece of Wood Best Regards, Pete

Today I worked on making the cockpit coamings . First I finished installing the cockpit coaming backing on the fore and aft bulkheads. I then cut out the rear deck bracing ( as per plan ) Now the coaming's are the tricky part, there is no detail on the construction plan . ( other than the sheer profile ) I first made a template out of card board with the measurement s that were provided to me by the construction plan. I decided that my coamings would also act as the seat back, so my board would have to be wide . once the template was close I transfered it on 1/16" ( wich scales out perfect ) Material, soaked them in alcohol for 2 hours and bent them close to there location.( The coamings will be installed after the deck is on ) I left the top of the coamings tall, so that when the deck is on it will be easier to scribe the sheer ( because of forward deck camber makes it tricky at the transition point )Here are the results

Thank you Russ, The seats were made off the model then installed .This is the first model that I have tried this on,so scale was not that important ( it just had to look good ) I made the caulking a bit dramatic to see how it would look overall. Its all a just learning process ,and Its alot of fun. Best Regards, Pete

I thought today would be a good day to work on Keel # 4 , I started by refitting the Centerboard. Then I cut out the Bowsprit Blank, marked it now its ready for shaping. I then made the inside drop board rails , and installed them. I then cut out the seat, wich I made out of 2 pieces so that the seat fits under the Deck. Next I ripped down more of the 1/32" birch ply for the decking . I then laid it out the seats in the same fashion as the cockpit floor and fish well deck. I then installed the seats and added a pre bent pre stained strip cut it to fit aft of the seat and match the cockpit coaming . Here are the results
