| Fastening the stem |
|
| Now I am starting to put things together. First step is to fasten the stem to one of the side panels. |

| Topside panels |
|
| Here I have cut out both topside panels, and joined them with butt blocks. |

|
| Laying out the topsides |
|
| Here I have aligned the 3/4" Meranti Marine plywood sheets for one side, set out the points for the bottom curve, and set the batten on the points in a fair curve. Next I will draw the curve and cut very close to the line with a circular saw. |

| Starting the sides |
|
| In this photo I have attached the stern posts to the transom, and set the transom up on stands at the proper angle. I am assembling one side in preparation for laying out the panel shape.
I recently got an e-mail request for a drawing of the proposed cruising cabin. There is a drawing of it on my "Boat Ideas" page. Just scroll down, it is the third one down. |

| A new project. |
| Transom, stem and stern posts, 20' LYS |
| Well, I have finally completed a few small jobs, and have started a 20' Lumber Yard Skiff for a man from Western New York. I will be building the hull and adding flotation and side decks, and sheathing the exterior with epoxy and fiberglass cloth. He will finish the boat off with a cruising cabin, paint, motor, etc. This boat will make a great canal cruiser and lake explorer. |

| A New Year |
|
| As we start a New Year, here's a photo of a project I have been working on for the past 6 months or so. I have been helping Steve Smith , who is building a houseboat. I have built the curved rafters, the ladder to the second floor,and all the doors. Quite a project, especially for Steve. He started by assembling the aluminum pontoons, then went from there. All the wood is clear douglas fir. Launch date is set for sometime in April. |

| Almost finished ! |
|
| In this photo the non-skid has been applied to the bottom, and the thwarts have been permanently installed. All that is left to do is oil the interior and mount the hardware - oarlock sockets and a cleat at the bow. |
