I took a couple of hours out today for a little screwing. I will take the screws out and will be on the sides late today. update pictures will come later this week.
Looking great... I'm looking at your 27 for down the road...when will you have some images of an actual build?

Is this project on the website? If not could you post them as you progress perhaps under a different thread?
How do you laminate the two layers of plywood with the epoxy is it just straight epoxy on both sides and compressed together or is the epoxy mixed with a filler and then compressed.I would appreciate any information you could give as I to would like to build one day.I am also open to any books that you may know of that can provide me with the proper information on using epoxy.

The epoxy is mixed with cabosil to a consistency of peanut butter and spread between the plywood. The only time we have used it straight is on the glass. It's pretty runny straight. These CBBOAT jigs really make this almost foolproof.
