CK17. Getting out and buying the first sheet of plywood was the key. Here in Portland Maine the place to for the elusive marine grade plywood seems to be Maine Coast Lumber.
Once I got some wood and started cutting I got back in the groove and I've been on a roll ever since. Right now I have just about everything cut out. A dagger board, lifting floor and a couple pieces of the rudder are all that are left.
So for a couple three weeks its been all about the measuring, remeasuring and cutting.
I got metric plans - and I like them - no fractions.
My trusty Craftsman 3" circular trim saw is my best friend. I can cut a decent line and a fair curve with it.
I think I must read through all the plans and instructions at least a couple times a week and I think I see something new each time, or come up with a question for the forum. I've not had to ask a question yet, but there are lots of answers already there.
Of the parts I have a healthy respect/fear for - I'd say the dagger trunk is at the top of the list. It's cut and kind of mocked up, but it sits in the corner mocking me until I need to deal with it.
I have a couple helpers but the quiet one was out there tonight
