Planning the Albury 19 build

We've purchased the plans from Wooden Boat, and will be spending the next few months (years... decades) building the Albury 19' runabout from Doug Hylan's plans.  We're a father-son team in upstate NY, and this will be our first build.

It's been fun so far decoding the plans, figuring out the lumber purchase, and, of course, buying the necessary power tools we've been lacking (planer).  We're going to have fun with this project and, ideally, have it out on Lake George along with our fiberglass sailboat!!  Best of both worlds!

My son will be taking over the blog from here.  Any feedback sincerely appreciated as we embark upon this adventure!

Next step: purchasing douglas fir for the keel, stem, and rib constructions, building the strongback and the steambox!
