Here is the latest update, I glued 3 layers of 1"thick x 4" wide and 38" long high density styrofoam together with 3 hr epoxy glue and placed paint cans on it to weigh it down. I marked the basic outline of the wood templates onto the foam so that I will avoid most of the cured glue while cutting the foam out as it can be a little difficult to shape. Next I squared and clamped the side wood templates onto the foam and chose to cut the foam with a hacksaw with the blade turned sideways and if carefully done there isn't much sanding to do on the foam to match the templates. Once I cut and sanded the two ends I moved the clamps to the inside and finished cutting and sanding the full length of the hull and presto the bottom to top shape is done. you'll have to excuse my sidekick aka quality control inspector Maggie she has to be involved in everything I do. And no I don't work on my kitchen table wifey wouldn't be too happy, it just provides the best picture taking spot at the moment.
