: Well Done! Quite an accomplishment.
: Sooo, how long did it take??
: Lance
I started making the stongback and cutting out the forms the first week of September and finished fitting it out by mid April so, 7 and a half months. My shop isn't heated, I use a propane heater to make it comfortable for working but I'm unwilling to keep it warm 24/7, so I guess about 6 to 8 weeks of that was waiting for some warmer temperatures so I could work with the epoxy or do the varnishing.
