Excitement is building

I have had very little chance to work on the boat this week, but finally today got some work done. I have been dry fitting the stem to frames 7 & 8. I have had a few problems to work through. On frame 8 the slot for the stem wasn't wide enough, this was relatively easily fixed with the router. Frame 7 however was a bit barder to fix. The slot for the stem was too big, so I had to glue some shims in.I'll post a photo later.I then got started on the building form. A freiend of mine was able to get me all the timber for the building form for free. So far I have the base bolted to the ground and the cross pieces bolted to the base. Tomorrow I am going to go and order my LVL stringers. Being this close to Christmas I am not sure they will arrive before the new year.I'll post a photo of thr build form later as well.
