Second layer underway

I've been a bit slack at updating this blog lately.

In the weekend I finshed all the fairing and then got stuck into sawing up ply and cutting, dry fitting etc the second layer on the bottom.

Then last night I got home to find nobody there, so that gave me the perfect opportunity to test out my new compressor and glue some planks down.

Well gluing the planks down went ok, glue consumption is now up 3 fold.

The first photo shows the plank that I layed along the keel to butt my lamination planks up again.  Once they were all nailed down I lifted it to stop it getting glued down.  The result is a nice straight edge along the keel.  My guide plank is still nailed at the other end so I can put it back down accurately and carry on.

Second photo shows the results of my first glueing session of the second layer
