    Clearing the decks of unfinished projects

    Hi guys, I'm at the outset of some big firearms related projects, and I thought that before I got them seriously underway, I'd finish everything that I had already begun.
    The big one of these is a cradle boat I was building for my daughter (who is now 2!), but luckily I've just had another one who's just 2 months...
    The build has been stalled for over a year, and I've just been over the plans again, and I think I can kill it in the next month.
    It has already been a mammoth amount of work, and I'm really close to the finishing stages.
    It's strip planked in cedar and then it's been sheathed in light glass cloth, filled and faired inside and out. Most of the cedar planks needed to be steamed to take the curve of the hull, and individually tapered too.
    It awaits a keel, gunwhales, inwhales, knees, a foor, and davits or a rocker base, plus paint and varnish.
    I'll post more pictures as it continues.
    Wish me luck.
