I've been adding about 2-4 strips every other day.... shape the stem one day, lay 2, or maybe 4, strips the next....
I'm getting toward the hard part where the strips will have to be fit together over the wide part of the bottom of the boat. But, thank god, the stem shaping will soon be over!
I got a big file and a rasp the other day, which will help a lot with smoothing out the ends that terminate at the stems (have to be made smooth, then the outer stem laminations will be bonded over them).
Here are a few more pictures, taken by Steve (thanks Steve!).
