Check the molding lumber. I found some 1x1 (3/4 x 3/4) pine. They had it in 15 ft lengths. I did go with the 1x2 from Lowes on the FS14. I am building the strongback for the LM18 next week, but will use it as a flat build table first. Maybe connect my table saw to it and pre cut 1x1 cleats and anything else now!? I don't have the room like you do!
She is looking good. Weather should be getting better for you.

1 1/16" x 1 1/16" they have it in pine, but that finger joined.

Re: Eric's C21
I wonder why you guys wouldn't use foam for cleating. I suppose you won't need to glass a wood cleat, but all my cleats are foam with a piecr of 4" glass to make sure it sticks.

Re: Eric's C21
I was and may still. Jacques told me to glass the foam on both sides. That's kinda a deal breaker.

Nice transom design tweak Eric.
Currently building Jacques Mertens ST21 "Skinnydip".

Re: Eric's C21
Thank you Gents. I'm taking the day off from the build.
My Sweet Mother in law has requested our presence at a family luncheon.
She wants to brag over her grandbabies to her cousins.
I could not deny her the opportunity.

Your a good man taking care of your MIL. I am one of those rare husbands who really like my MIL. I would be all in favor of her moving in with us if she wanted to.
