Cut and fitted stringers, almost ready to glass 'em in...

[JasonJ]

I have spent the last few afternoons after work cutting and fitting stringers. Mind numbing. I still need to cut and install the crossbraces, then I can glass the whole mess in. They are mostly all level, I will use the trusty belt sander to do the final leveling when the stringers are cured. Also installed the tube for wiring and controls...<br /><br />

May be mind numbing work, but it looks great. How will you go about glassing the stringers in?? Wish my day/week was as productive as yours...nothing gone right for the past two days. A full moon to boot....gonna sleep with my pistola and silver bullets tonight, lest the werewolves be prowlin. With my luck, I wouldn't doubt it. Keep the updates coming...she's looking good.

Leveling with sander sounds good for the gross adjustments. I've got a boatbuilding tip from when I once built a glen l boat. Paper your straight crossboard(as seen in the photo) with sandpaper, and you can sand them all simultaneously to perfectly flat. Looking good.

Looking good Jason. Do you intend to put in limber holes?? Maybe you did and I can't see them in the photos. If not, you might want to consider adding them. Good luck!
