Salish 3.1 build!

 I am starting another Salish Coastal Rowboat this week! As I work on the instruction manual, I realize that some more photos would be helpful, plus I want to build with staples and construct the deck a bit different.
So I have the strips made, and have set up the strongback. The picture below shows the first forms set up and the cleats attached to the strongback  every 12  inches to take the rest.

Each form is attached to a 12 inch riser aligned with a horizontal datum line and the centerline and then screwed to the cleat.

All the forms are attached, and shear clamps are stapled into the notches made for them on the forms. We don't want the hull glued to the shear clamp or the forms so we cover them with masking tape.

Now we can staple the first strips on the boat,  The staples are set through strapping tape to make them easier to remove later.
