Well, it took longer than I had thought it would, but I finally started on my Bear Mountain Prospector.
My work schedule gives me every other Friday off, and this was the day I've been waiting for. I thought I would start ripping the cypress strips for the boat, but as I started thinking about it and the space I would need, I realized I didn't have any kind of out feed table. So a change of plans last night, and after a trip to Home Depot this morning, I got started on the strongback. I'll use it when I start ripping the strips. Well, I got the torsion box mostly done. After I joined the two halves, I realized I had a bow in the box, lengthwise. I'll take care of that tomorrow.
