2nd Layer on the bottom complete

Busy day today.....

Finished the second layer on the bottom. 

Then made a start on fairing one of the sides.  This is hard work with the long board.  I wore out the first batch of sand paper then had to go and buy a heat gun in order to peal the sand paper off.  I read somewhere a heat gun and scrapper would release the sand paper from the board, I didn't think it would work but it did, it worked really well.

The heat gun I bought was a Bosch one, to continue my love affair with Bosch tools.  There wasn't a lot of choice, a couple of cheap crappy ones, and a couple of expensive good ones.

Also trimmed the bottom planks to give a nice curve again, looks really cool.

 Focus now is on fairing the sides in preparation for the second layer.  I think that's going to take several days of hard work.
