Also different than all plans I have built from! Please don't get confused, I'm relying on you and jdupree to keep me straight on how the parts affect each other!

I made a good decision today. I had planned to glass the whole outside at one time, this would have saved a day or two of wait for cure time. I cut the cloth, then started to plan how to wet out the whole outside in one session, then decided it was a bad idea especially with the keel down the...

Cheated the clock today, lightly sanded the inside glass,wiped it down,and put on the first fill coat. Normally I would be done for the day to let the epoxy cure. But I’m going to run out of Texas work time and return to Kansas in about 10 days. Picture of the first fill coat doesn’t look much...

Thanks and thanks for sharing your knowledge of how things work together.

Some progress on glassing the inside. I decded to glass before putting the tumble homes on since I'm still not sure exactly what the deck/tumble home junctionn is goiing to look like. looks like the tumble home side angle will be about 97 degrees.I'm doing the inside glass on the inside inn...

Thanks JD you sure full of knowledge. Thanks for sharing and taking the time to respond. I am not sure for the angle ended up I will measure it next time out there. I mostly Was going by how it looks. I hadn't considered the effect on side stiffness That is some good information something to...

This build is coming off a weather delay, three days of rain and another day of husband stuff! I have spent a bunch of time playing with the tumble home angles, width,length, and any other thing associated with them. That was the fun (learning) part. In this picture I was experimenting with...

Thanks JD, I appreciate your taking the time to help me understand the interrelationships of the boat parts. I have made the cutback on straight top panels on an uncle john type, but there weren’t any tumble homes to deal with. Just before I Got your response I had figured out that the side of...

Beekeeper, Been looking at making the tumblehome so it could be bent out of normal 3/4 " strips. Not too concerned about this current build, but wold like to make some plans youngsters could work from. When it quits raining and I can get the boat off the table, I'll try some bending. I keep...

Today I pulled the rough shape tumble home panel off the table, pulled out a bunch of 23 ga pin nails, that was holding the glued strips in place then cut out both tumble homes using the cardboard pattern made previously. here is the cut out panel. I like to use the circular saw to cut out the...

Yes the dowel is against the epoxy seam that joins the sides then embedded in epoxy mix.

That's the boat I was looking for. The deck lines are a little more complicated than I had remembered. It sure fits the boat good, I need to think about it. Spent a lot of time waiting for epoxy and titebond to set. I usually try to time the set up and wait to occur overnight. Going to rehab...

Thanks for the idea And the suggestion I had not considered that but was thinking about one of your boats where the tumblehome stopped at the Deck. I haven't found a picture that boat yet But I think I will consider that idea. I can build the tumble homes with 38 strips It is just that I had...

Right after church I hit the shop full of energy, surprise I ran out of steam about 3hours later. Thankful, I got some good work done early.I planned on using the table to lay out the tumble home panels, so the boat was outside in the sun. I was able to fair the edges of the keel finishing as...

The strips are 3/4 inch Wide And 1/4 inch thick. There simply no reasonable way for them to make that Compound bend. On the little version of the water moccasin And the lucky kayak I had to cut the tumblehome strips down to 3/8. Lucky kayak tumblehome

Instead of carving a "stem" or doing an end pour to back up the stitch and glue end joint, I just epoxy a dowel rod in the joint to strengthen it.

Today was several hours of work, but didn’t get many meaningful pictures.Sanded inside and outside with random orbital sander and 80 grit. Didn’t get pictures, but it cleaned up pretty good. Then a trip to Lowes to get an 1 ¼ “dowel to use for the keel I had forgotten about, the original Water...
