I went out Sunday, and had a bit of trouble, because i forgot to bring the book.
however, I've read most of it a few times now, and read lots of other blogs, so i forged on.

I messed up the first stem piece I tried I messed up, because I forgot that it had to go all the way to the top of the gunwales, but i could use the piece to make the other stempiece so in the end i got two functional pieces.





I clamped the keel on, and started lashing it.
as i didn't have the book i didn't use the exact lashing method he suggests, and i used a thread that wasn't completely flat (1,4mm thick polyester building line).
but the lashing went fast and painless, there was one point on one chine when i needed fairing blocks on 3 ribs in a row, but apart from that it was no problems.





I also made one of the little blocks that tie together the stemplate and gunwhales, but didn't have time to do the other.




all in all, I think I got a good days work done.



EDIT: Picked upp the cloth at the post office too!
