So this is the boat I am building. It is about 26" in length. This is phase one: getting to see both angles. The only plywood is the floor and the front deck. The frame has come out real nice. My biggest worry is the skin. It really is going to be hard to do the front. Now, I will have to say: this project happens on the weekends and at night when it's too late to work on homework and Naudia is asleep. I have woken Naudia up once at least (that's what she admits) sanding away. I really should try to keep it down. Now Naudia is a saint. She is really patient with me, lets me ride a motorcycle, and she lets me use the livingroom as a project shop. And when I am working on something, I usually have a spread (aka no one is allowed to walk in the realms between the hot chocolate table ('cause we don't drink coffee) and the entertainment center when I am too lazy to pick up my stuff after a night's work. I don't know how she puts up with it. But, I do know we are going to have fun with the boat together when it's finished. ------ David
