COMPLETING THE WELL BOARDS


Hi Team I decided to deviate from the instructions and complete the Boards before finishing the second sheathing, this way I will have more room inside the boat to work before I fit the gunnals etc.

The first job was to identify the wood ( bass wood 2 x 3 mm)

I then raided my scrap wood to find some 1mm thick pieces to act as spacers.

I fitted sapele 2 x 3mm down the centre of the well of the boat, and fitted some strips of bass wood along side, using the spacers:-

COMPLETING THE WELL BOARDS

And then it was just a question of cutting and fixing untill the job was finished:-

COMPLETING THE WELL BOARDS

At this point I did not use bass wood for the two cross members as called for in the instructions, I had some scrap pieces of Mahogany and fitted these and I feel they look much better:-

SECOND SHEATHING

To day I continued with the second layer of planking, I used PVA adhesive and fitted the gardboard planking, plus a couple of fillets on the stern hull and prepared the keel and stem channelsBigGrin
