A day off work to observe Veterans' Day (Thank you to all veterans, particularly those of my generation who have not been appreciated for what you went through in SE Asia) and plenty of plywood meant I could make some good progress.
The first set of hull panels (which took parts of the last three days to make) were used as patterns for the second set. The second set came out of the plywood much easier and faster than those first two. I matched the panels and trimmed them to the lines. Once I was satisfied that I had matched sets, I masked off the aft panels (marking the bulkhead, chine log, and inwale positions). These two panels are ready to be coated with epoxy.
I'll apply the first coat this evening, the second tomorrow before leaving for work, and the third tomorrow evening. Friday I can begin coating the forward panels. Space limitations keep me from doing all four at the same time.
Despite repeating myself, this is FUN!

Hi Bob, nice pics! Those saws are great arn't they? Yours is a Ryoba and very handy because it is two saws in one.
I also have the exact model of Stanley block plane!
