The laminated plywood siding material is done now, and it is looking more like a boat, (upside down).  We continue to be impressed with the wonders of the plastic staples and stapler.  It allows us to minimize the depressions created screws.  We have started working on the exterior chines.  We decided to use Ash for them and now we are sorry we didn't have it when we were making the inners, as Ash bends very easily.  We would have saved ourselves a lot of headaches and frustration.  Now we know!  The next step will be to attach the exterior chines and start working on faring the hull.  This all needs to be done in preparation for fiberglassing the hull.  We just ordered another 10 gallons of resin, bringing the total up to 16 gallons.
The questions we continue to ask ourselves are: 1-"How are we going to turn her over?" and 2-"What color are we going to paint her?"  Does anyone have any ideas on either question?
