In Response To: Strip: Resisting the urge to start over (Erik Wahlstrom)

Erik,
I'm glad you made this post to get all the replys that you've received. I'm about 1/2 way done with the hull on my first boat, a King, and I about turned it into kindling the other night. I am going stapleless and I can't keep the strips to the forms so I have some areas that have quite a gap between the forms and the strips. I really got tweaked but when I look at it, it is starting to look like a boat! ('Course it was 105 outside so maybe my nerves where a tad bit frayed...)So, I decided what the heck, planning/sanding will help and I'm learning a lot for my next boat. I'm going to engage my boat builder mentor, John Schroeder, to see if we can't rig something up to pull the strips in but even if we can't the boat is looking relatively fair. So with apologies to Joe Greenley, I'll end up with a King, just not sure what the dimensions will be!
