Making progress

Lining up all of the frames is kind of a moment of truth.  I find out if my workmanship is good enough for all of the lines to flow properly.  So far, so good.

Building frame number 5

 Epoxy and bronze nails and screws were used to join all of the pieces.

Cutting out the frames

It took some effort to find marine grade plywood and the mahogany to use for the frames.  I cut most of them out with a hand held jigsaw and a circular saw.  Better tools would have resulted in better workmanship, but the hand tools worked ok.

Getting started- building the set up

Building the Glen L 15

I've daydreamed for years about building a boat, particularly a sailboat.  I built several strip built kayaks years ago, and really enjoyed them.  Lately I've had enough time to start woodworking again. After looking a various boats and plans, I decided on the Glen L 15.  It looks big enough for me and the kids to sail in, but small enough to (hopefully) build in 6 months.
