- Description: I’m laminating the hull sides together and trimming the stringers before I start on the decks. Sixteen connection lines take a surprising number of rollers—and I’m down to one glove.

Well, just a little bit more- laminating panels of hull sides together and doing other small things before starting the decks. It takes surprisingly long to laminate 16 separate connection lines 😂 (not mentioning surprising number of rollers!). Most inside bits will be done with plywood butt straps as connections are in places where it is not really a problem.

To finish the day I’ll get back to trimming the excess of plywood on the top and (now!) middle stringers. Cannot do epoxy work as still waiting for the gloves… have 1 left (single, not a pair!!)
