: Quick update on progress: I put the ribs and stems together on the
: ply bottom, setup the whole thing on a 2 x 4 strongback and
: flipped it. Currently I am slowly adding the strips aroud the
: bilges a pair at a time. The time per pair is very consistent so
: I predict I will have about 48 hours into it by the time the
: strips are competed and I can start on the ply sheer planks.

: Stripping is straightforward enough but time-consuming, by the time
: I have cut and thickness planed 2 lengths of WRC, scarfed them
: together to form a strip, bevelled the edge, trimmed it to
: length and glued it in place about 40 minutes seem to have
: vanished, and with the time for the glue to set I can't get more
: than one or two strip pairs done in a day.

: I am starting to realize why folks building a fully stripped 2 or 3
: seater (this is a solo) spend months or even a year for the
: entire process. Awesome patience! I'mnot like that, I am already
: itching to start the next boat ...

Most of us mill all the strips before we start building. I never scarf any strips, prefer them shorter. I just pick the strips that I'll be using, fit them then glue in place, and move onto the next one.
