"I designed an anchor arm bracket that will mount in the center of the stern.  The plan is to make the bracket from 3/4" plywood with aluminum pulleys.  I think the wood will be robust enough to handle a 30lb anchor...if not, I'll…"

"The dry fit up/assembly revealed no surprises...it looks like a boat!  I then disassembled the parts and epoxy coated the inside hull panels while they were flat.  I still need to purchase fiberglass cloth.  I think I'm going…"

"Looks great so far! You're well on your way. "

"That’ll look awesome. I’m glad my bumbling account could help"

"So at this point I have all the major parts for the boat "carcass" minus the bottom (hull sides, frames, stern, bow stem).  Next up is a dry fit-up/assembly to verify all the cuts and angles are correct."

"For the stern, I epoxy laminated 1/2 and 1/4 ply to get a 3/4" thick sheet...."

"Prepping and epoxying the hull panels...."

"Thanks Bennett, actually your build thread has been a huge help.  I'm going with ash for the gunnels (I like the contrast of a lighter wood against the dark Mahogany sides) and also for the inner chine logs.  I tried looking for white…"

"Nice! Good to see a new build on here!  You using mahogany for the chines and gunnels too?"

"Next up was making the scarf cuts on the 1/4 ply for the hull.  I ended making a router jig on linear bearings which worked pretty well..."

"Frames were pre-varnished with Total Boat wood sealer..."

"African Mahogany for the frames..."

"It's a moot point now that I've already cut the notches by tracing the outline of the chine log on every frame, but just to clarify.... I was questioning the plans instructions to cut each chine notch parallel to the sides and bottom, and…"
