Progress (or a lack thereof)

For those of you who are beginning to think that this is a never-ending boat project, I would like to say for the record that, all told, this boat will ultimately take about five days to build, and that's only working on it two or three hours on each of those days.

Day one:
assemble the ribs
scarf the rub rails
join the plywood
leave to dry

Day two:
cut the sideboards, assemble to stempost and sternpost, attach ribs
leave to dry

Day three:
Cut and attach bottom
leave to dry

Day four:
Fiberglass outside
leave to dry

Day five:
Fiberglass inside
leave to dry

Unfortunately for me, I don't have a large workshop or garage in which to work, so I am at the mercy of the weather. This weekend (during which I should be able to finish Day 1 and Day 2) it will be raining, and so I won't really get to do anything apart from re-join the rubrails.

But then I'll leave them to set and dry for a week, and next Saturday I am going to cut the sideboards and, hopefully, join them and the bottom.

If the weather cooperates, I will have something vaguely boat-shaped to show you by next Sunday.

In the meantime, I have some other boat-related things that I may address here.
Oh, and here's the finished Samurai costume:
