Gerald,

Hey, it's looking good! I wish I was at that stage with my first design. Yours are the first photos I've seen of a KayakFoundry design committed to full-size forms. Congrats - you get the coveted Cedar Guinea Pig award. Thanks for posting the pics. I'll follow your progress with interest.

: Ok...I have the station forms on the strongback. I curbed my natural tendency
: for fiddling with things and installed them following all of Ross Leidy's
: KayakFoundry dimensional layout so I could report whether they are
: accurate...or not. I am very happy to say that the plans are accurate.
: There are no anomalies that can't be attributed to tolerances that I work
: with. The waterline, sheerline, centerlines, and 2" layout lines I
: added for layout help were all easily within any tolerance I am capable
: of. At this time I need to do a little stern and bow shaping, but other
: than that I'm ready to start stripping. Once I cut out some strips I will
: do further checking and fine tuning as needed, if needed. So far I'm very
: happy with the design I did with the KayakFoundry. I have included a link
: below if anyone is interested in taking a look. I'm gonna also try to
: include a picture with this message...but...who knows what will happen.
