A small but important milestone last night. The first piece of the boat, the inner stem, was glued up. The temp in the shop was ~45, so the epoxy was thick. It went on a little heavier than I wanted and squeeze out made a bigger mess than I was expecting. I left it over night in a warmer room. The set up looked fine at 6:30 this AM.
The next task will be to grind down the inner stem to the shape outlined in Doug's plans (see below). A blow up of the intended cross-sectional profile is below. Plenty of opportunity to screw up on the horizon..... Should be fun. I will try my new angle grinder. Always fun to figure out a new tool.
Nice going Greg. Looking forward to your progress.
