First Plank Glued Down!

I glued down the first plank tonight!

There really wasn't a whole lot of work left to do after lining up the molds. You'll see the pics are very similar. I did take the time to cut out a 3" strip of scrap plywood to see how the garboard plank would land on the stem. I planed it down just a little bit more. I also sanded down the transom bevel to get a little bit of curve out of my planing. I also did my best to make sure the stem was in line with the molds. The only problem there was making sure it wasn't twisted in the middle. I think (hope) it's all lined up.

One down. Ten to go!
