“Day 5” ?!….something to strive for! We were just past “Year 2” on our Penobscot :) Great tips and I like looking at the builder’s setup around the shop, going to upgrade my sawhorses with that vertical extension.

Suffice it to say that I don’t work 80 hour weeks with an able assistant at my house either…
Larry Cheek says:
This is an excellent series of videos, but Geoff’s first sentence in this episode introduces a discouraging element: “…end of day five.” It would take me five WEEKS to get to this stage in a 19′ glued-lap hull. At best. I can accept a 2x or even 3x efficiency differential between a pro’s skills and my amateur bumbling, but Jeez. Give us a break, Geoff. Waste some time hunting for your pencil. Strip a screw head. Shave off too much garboard with that planer and lose a day grafting in a shim. A little humane encouragement, please!
