12-6 I took delievery of a big (4x4x20’) stick of douglas fir which will become the mast. It is straight and close-grained, but is green wood. With help, I took it through the porch window and set it up level on the floor. It will stay there to dry as long as possible, and the mast will be the last job done.
The skiff will be built around plywood molds set up on a strongback of two parallel 2x6’s. I bought these materials and on December 18 I finally broke ground, literally, digging post holes for the strongback.
12-19 I placed posts, hung stringers and spacers for the strongback, cut up plywood into mold sized pieces, and drew most molds.
