My carriage bolts arrived! So I was able to get going on the keel, battens, chine log and sheer clamp. Starting to see the shape/curves of the boat and am really liking it.
With the sheer clamps I was a little worried about the amount of force I was applying to get the bends I needed, so I steamed them a bit and clamped them into place. After leaving them for 24 hours, I was really impressed how well the bag steaming worked and how much of the bend they retained.
I’ve also started doing a small amount of the fairing that’s going to need to be done. Lots more to go before I ever get any of the planking done.
Nothing done yet on this side. 
Have done a fair amount here.
