Bow outer stem bent. Christine is not yet sure how far back she will run the stem backwards.

Resin seal coat going on. The wood is extremely dry.
Manitoba cedar has beautiful colouring.

Outer stems are of her own design and reasoning. Don't ask.

Magic time.

I stopped after 2 hours. Christine finished the knuckle on the other side and brushed out runs and sags. This is the first stripper we have built since my Jack's Special in 2017 so we had some remembering to do.

The Kite is free!!!

The procedure went so well I slowed the timelapse down to 1/4 speed.

Wow, that looks great! Congratulations.

Good idea to strap the center form back in place, to help maintain the hull shape. Also move your stands closer. This will help also !

Looks Great !

How the boat is in the cradles is temporary, we had to disassemble and remove the strongback and make some space.

This might be more of a question for Glenn but the last pictures I'm seeing are from Jan 18th.

FB video links. I couldn't imbed the video directly.

Ah... That would do it. I got kicked off of Facebook permanently (they haven't said why and I cannot even contact them without an account). Interesting that it doesn't even show up as a link on my laptop. Next time I'm in town I'll have to try from one of the library computers.

I’m not a Facebook user and I cannot see them either. Sometimes I see the link (but it doesn’t work) and sometimes it is just a blank space. For what that information is worth.

I will see if I can link them to my YouTube channel, I'm sure that would work for everyone.

I will use YT in the future.
