After 8 weeks of Part-Time work ( Evenings and Weekends ) the shape of the beast is finally revealed , well the first 5 meters of it anyway . Jigsaw's hulls are created in separate sections to be joined at a later stage , you may notice the rather wide stem , this is the base of the conical bow section to be constructed using a vertical strip plank process . Originally the houseboat was to be made in steel , due to cost constraints we changed to plywood but I still wanted the conical bow that looks so good in steel . The first lamination of the Side Chines , Stringers and Gunwale's has been fitted ,another is still to go and I have still have the bottom stringers to fit .
