Outer Island kayak, Aug 24-26
		I started stripping the hull from the keel down to the waterline.
		The first strips were stapled parallel to the keel.  I also attached a strip along the waterline.  This will be used as a guide to scribe a pencil mark on the section I am stripping.  This will eliminate precision fitting of the strips as I switch from cypress strips to western red cedar strips.			Spring clamps are used to hold the first few strips tight to the forms and strapping tape is used to hold the strips together as the glue dries.  I trimmed the strips to within an 1/8"-1/4" from the strip along the waterline.
					If you don't have full length strips, a stationary belt sander makes quick scarfs in strips.
		Small pieces of wood were nailed to the forms to give the spring clamps a spot to grab.
					This simple jig made from a block of wood, pencil and nail was used to scribe the pencil line seen above the waterline.
		After stripping, a pencil line was scribed above the waterline using the western red cedar strip as a batten.
					After cutting, two accent strips were added.  The cypress and western red cedar strips are approximately 3/16" wide.  The strip trimming technique eliminated fitting each strip individually.  It only took about 6-8 hours of stripping to get to this point.  I'll start adding western red cedar down to the shear.
		A Japanese dozuki pull saw is used to to trim off the excess strips along the scribed pencil line.
