I'm right behind you in Tacoma. I don't have my digital camera yet so no pics right away. If you wait a little while there should be some showing up in "The News Tribune". A photographer came out and too some pics of some strips being laid. I was interviewed by a reporter last Monday. The story will be with the story about our club, The South Sound Wooden Sea Kayak Club. There will also be a photoshoot of our next club outing, April 21. Jerry was interviewed for that one.

: Hello All

: Finally started the fun part, and thanks to this board, it's almost like
: having done it many times before. It's too bad there aren't more bbs as
: good as this to learn other skills...8-)

: Attempting to go cove and beadless as well, so far so good...but then I'm not
: to the serious chines yet. Using a modified dremel router/base to bevel
: the in- place strip tops, and plane to bevel the next strip during
: installation.

: Using electric glue in place of staples, so far working very well. The few
: forms (seen in photo) with wedges are to hold the strips tight while glue
: cools.

: happy trails
