Default RE: Ultrasport + to retract or not to retract

Anyone else building one or gonna start soon?
Anyone wanna follow the build with photos? Maybe a couple of us could contribute.

Here is a couple photos.

The bottles are the contents of my bar and are being used as weights on the stab and elevator. When building, I've found that having them nearby is a good idea.
I started using wood glue on my last plane and like it but it takes a bit of time to dry. I think having to take a break while portions are drying slows me down and makes me more careful. CA has its place for sure but framing can be done without it. Sands a lot better too.

Oh and yes. That is my kitchen table. I build on a piece of 5/8 drywall with a full size photocopy of the plan on the wall for reference. I'm an apartment dweller so no choice.

Marriage is grand, divorce is a hundred grand.
