I am still a bit behind.............. :oops:

I just do not have the time to dedicate for such a large build to be done quickly.
I only have a bit in the evenings, and on the weekend for a bit too, so my finished one will be a while I am afraid.

Its all good, dude. Its a cookup, not a race. Better to take your time and be happy with it than rush thru and regret. Remember, its all just for fun.

When the fun stops, then its time to move on.

Yep. Thats right. I started my current project last september. Some times, I just dont feel like working on it, sometimes I cant put it down. I admire the guys who seem to just keep cranking them out, but when I try to do that, I make alot more mistakes and it takes the fun out for me.
I plan to build a big one, like you guys, but it will take most of the summer.
The craft that you guys are building look fantastic !!!

The stingers are just 1/4" plywood cut into 1/4' strips...............they do look pretty good though........

The entire thing is out of 1/4" plywood so far, and cost me a big whopping $0.00...........just a few left over pieces from the shop I work at, out of the garbage can.

We're having an actual winter day here. 70 degrees and brighter inside the garage than outside. Really socked in. Soon as the sun comes out a bit, I'll shoot some pretty pics... For now tho...
