Major milestone this morning. Bottom strips finally done and hull cut out of the strong back. Only issue was hot melt glue gumming up my nice Japanese pull saw, but a little Toluene fixed that.

Added mass for stability – I like solid benches

Finally off strongback (for a few hours anyways)

Strongback with tab “nubs” and glue drips

Happy to be at this phase

Little bit of clean-up for tomorrow

Nice View Of Fwd Rocker

On cradle and wedged into place

Strapped Down – Ready For Next Phase
