Sheer clamp 1

I picked up the wood for the sheer clamps last night, some nice cedar.  It isn't totally clear, but the knots were pretty small.  I ripped 4 strips out a 10' long  by 6" wide board, cut some quick scarfs, and epoxied them them together to get 2 almost 20' x 1" strips.  The best part about working with cedar is the wonderful smell, every time you cut the stuff, it smells great!  Anyway, after letting the epoxy set for ~12 hours, I got the first one glued to the boat.  I can only do one at a time because I have a limited number of clamps.  I am using all of my spring clamps and a few G clamps and ratchet clamps too... and this is AFTER I bought 8 new spring clamps last night (all they had at Menards)!  As I have said many times before... you can never have too many clamps!!!
