So, what have I been doing this week? Tracing drawings. It's slow going, but I've found myself really enjoying the process. There's just something very simple and relaxing about spending an hour or two tracing drawings. Aside from that, I'm out of epoxy so I decided to get (a little) ahead of myself in the tracings. Not too much, though - I'm still tracing things from Ch.4. On the subject of epoxy though, I found a boat supply store about 20 miles away that supplies the kind of epoxy and hardener I need. Should save some cash on shipping at least. Want to see 1.25 hours worth of tracing compressed into 1 minute? Click the video below. Oh, and the flip is because the drawings often require you to trace a mirror image when both the left and right sides are the same. I had already traced the left side and the plans have you trace the right side as a mirror image.

ha ha, in my defense I did have all those dreams. I just didn't dream them that night.

Cool. Sorry I didn't think to offer sooner, but if it would help to borrow TEAM's light table for the tracings, let me know. - Dad

That light table would do a good job! I will help you loaded in the truck.
