finally........ (or just about anyway) Bill (the guy with the wood shop out back of me) and I met up at his shop yesterday and spoke about the lower hull and how do i want to proceed at this time. i told him to just cut the plywood with the extra to allow for the box (finger) joints to be made. he called me this afternoon that the woods been cut and if i'd like to pick it up as is, i could. so i went around figuring if i did pick it up tonight, i could at least have the hull put together and glassed by the 12th (not like it would do me any good). while i was there we BS'ed a bit and he made another box joint jig, this time for 3/8" took two 2' length pieces of plywood, notching one board at a time and then put them together. they all but fell together and only required a slight tap with the palm of the hand. it's a perfect fit as it should have been the first time. the next few days he's going to be building custom replacement windows (old, single paint kind), but says he'll get back to finishing the tank right after that (maybe by this coming weekend? would be nice). so with any luck, by this time next week, i'll be glassing the hull in case i don't make it to this battle, i'll send pictures of the hull as soon as it's together Chris, _Odyssey Slipways_ (http://hometown.aol.com/odysseyslipways/index.html)
