Building the Ellen 12' in 4 Minutes

I've spent the past year building a boat for my senior project. This time lapse includes 106 hours and 36 minutes of the work. I captured this time lapse with a Nikon D70s camera and Nikon Camera Control.

That is a ton of work. I am a big fan of John Brooks and really like his jig building method for glued lapstrake as you show here. Never have seen done, just pictures so this was really cool. Post more as you get it finished.
