Shop: The perils of building on your porch

Here is a video that shows why it is difficult when I build anything too long for my tiny shop area. I had just pulled the hull off the forms when this huge blow came up and I started filming just in time to show the portable light unit falling on the unglassed hull. CRACK!!! It did put a little crack in one strip, and two strips separated at the glue line, but nothing that won't fix and be completely invisible once she's all done. I pulled the hull inside and it is currently resting on my pool table.
