After receiving the drawings for the Tuffy in early April I finally started building a couple of weeks ago. There haven't been any big problems yet and the drawings have been easy to follow.

The project has been a lot of fun up to this point and I'm really looking forward to turning it around and start on the more visual part of the boat.
