A running commentary on the building of a Glen - L designed runabout. The design is called a Monaco, and is reminiscent of the power boats of the 1920's and 30's. It is a little over 19' and made using the "Cold Moulding" process. This photo shows a Monaco similar to what I am building. This one was built by Rich Coey and is a beautiful example. For more photos have a look on the links page.

3rd layer, cutting veneers and my new engine
Started on the 3rd layer of laminations on the bottom, so far going without a hitch.
Started the morning by building a jig to help slice up timber into 5mm veneers. The jig was a total failure. I am starting to get concerned about how I am actually going to do this
Finished the day by winning an engine on Trademe. So hopefully in the next week or so (it has to be freighted up from Hastings) I will have an engine to work on when it gets to cold for the epoxy to setup.
Pictures to come.
