No recent progress. I took time off with my wife to explore the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. Beautiful place, thought I did not take one of my home-built boats. They work fine for day trips on local lakes. For week-long trips with 20 mile paddles and portages through wildness; nothing beats a kevlar canoe.
As for boat building, here is a time lapse video on the work to date.
