new photos milestone reached

After a couple of days of glueing upside down inside the ladder frame.  I read the next step in the directions more carefully.  apparently I have been working upside down for quite a while.  No matter, the result is a very nice boat. 

I took it off the ladder and removed the forms tonight.  I have to say I am please with the results so far. 

Next will be to glass over the points the frames were at and fair and sand the exterior.  I have decided to glass the entire outside with 6 oz cloth.  the boat is incredibly light right now and can stand the couple of pounds this will add.  Most probably will glass the interior with 4 oz on the bottom panels.  and epoxy the sides prior to painting.

forms removed to access the seams.  The boat is easily lifted with one hand at this point in time.  will glass at least the bottom inside and out for durablility.  My life was once saved by a 6 oz layer of glass on wood so will not omit here.

A bit of trimming to do on the bow.  But it came out nicely.
