First Cuts

 The shop continues to evolve. The fiberglass has been ordered. Can't wait for the epoxy to arrive.

In the meantime I measured out the bulkheads and hit them with the circular saw. Which just so happens to be 5". This takes it out of play for doing the scarfs.

Finished up the rest of the bulkheads and saved all the scrap materials for use later.

Next up is the transom/bowpost and doing the scarfs on the 1/4" plywood sides and 3/8" bottom.

Scarfs: Turns out there are many different processes and I have yet to make a decision on the process to use. Right now I am leaning toward the hand plane, or building a jig for the router (This seems like the cheapest and easiest option). Below is a handful of websites that go over the different processes.
