OB19 build in Texas - I accidentally deleted my gallery They're trying to restore.

Yep. The router will be perfect... a bit slower but perfect.

Got the side panels glued on Saturday. Didn't glue the joints first because I wanted to get them done that day. Got the Transom laminated and one stringer is laminated and curing. Will do the other three throughout the week. Only have enough weights to do one at a time. No pics as there's nothing much to see. I'm on track to have the hull stiched on the frame this weekend. I'll have some pics of that.

i'm a fan of the ob19
following closely ur build,. like the level of detail on documenting ur build
keep it up
looking for the stitching pics,.. IMO, tit's the most exciting when u first witness a transformation from a stack of ply into a boat:)

Thanks. Here's a picture of the second stringer laminated. Notice the blue painters tape under the plastic to ensure a nice straight stringer. I also committed Stitch-N-Glue sin by using a pnuematic brad nailer along the top edge and bolttom edge of the straight portion. Holds everything in place nicely and they will be buried under the glue blocks for the sole and under the fillet for the stringer to hull lamination, so no need to worry about filling the tiny holes they leave.

unless brads are bronze you might want to dig them out and fill. Not too much trouble and
long term, it's hard to think of a worse place to have problems from corrosion/rot/splitting, than along the backbone of the boat....
Maybe this is too uptight an approach for you.
For some though, a half hour of work would pay off in years of having less worries about the structure.

I wasn't planning on worrying about it for years. They'll be deeply encapsulated and plywood doesn't split like hardwood. I just can't envision a scenario where they can be problematic.
