Part-2 took almost 8 months to complete as I build the boat on weekends and after work.
This is the final stage before turning the boat. Hopefully the boat will be completed before next spring. I'll install a RIM drive engine next which is a very amazing technology.

This part of the boat building consists of fairing, spiling, sanding, filling and repeat this over and over and over again. I probably sanded for more than 50 hours in total. I'm so glad that now I can work inside the boat which is similar to furniture making.

Even though the final planking of the sides seems straightforward in the video, it was the most difficult and time consuming part. In the video it may seem like I'm just stacking straight planks on top of each other while in reality, on a concave surface two straight lines will not meet with each other therefore you need spiling. All the final planks you see are not straight pieces. Every single plank is following the curvature of the planks under it. It is an extremely difficult task and even 1mm mistake would lead a gap between planks. I spent 3 days just looking at the boat contemplating how I can do it right. I even started to see planks in my dreams..

I understand that some people don't like the background music and would prefer an ASMR type video. Unfortunately I do listen loud music when building the boat so I have to mask the sounds with background music.
