you didn't warn me...

So I have been enjoying every minute of my kayak so far... only you didn't tell me it was going to be so frustrating lining up all the forms. I get all the forms on one side all lined up only to realize that I have been getting slightly higher off the strongback with each form and the last one can not go high enough to line up. So I lower a few and try to get them in line with the strongback more only to not be able to get them lined up with each other. Frustrating. Maybe I am a perfectionist.
I am not going to say that my thighs are sore from hunching down to sight down the forms but my wife is laughing at me.
Tomorrow is another day.

- It sounds crazy, but ignore the even number forms
