This is from Chuck's new set of plans for the English Cutter Cheerful. While I'm waiting for the next update for my Echo Section, I ordered the plan set. I like the lines of the ship and since there is only one mast, I'm even happier. Aside from Chuck's long boat, I've not done any POB models, but since she will be fully planked, why not. Chuck puts almost as many bulkheads in as some stylized POF models out there. First up was buying the plywood for the spine and bulkheads. Lots of it in hobby shops and on line. ALERT: You only need one sheet of 12" x 48" quarter-inch material. Every piece easily fit with plenty of leftover material for fillers, etc. See pics. The material that I got is slightly over-sized so I'll run it thru the thickness sander before gluing on the patterns. Another tip on working with plywood. The good side should be UP cutting on a table saw. Use blue painters tape over every line to be cut (on both faces of the plywood) to prevent any tear-out. And use a good 80 TPI blade. There is not a chip on any cut I made so far. Cutting the slots for the bulkheads (B/H) over the spine will be critical. It's easy for Chuck with his new laser cutter, and careful layout is important if you're doing it with a saw. First off is determining a 90 degree line between the B/H slots and and the tops of the frames. I cut the patterns out by carefully cutting a line across the very top of each B/H pattern. Once the patterns are glued on each blank with the top edge flush with the edge of the plywood blank, I can use that side in my table saw sled to get a perfect 90 degree slot. For the spine (which has a curve to the bottom), I used the bottom of the plan sheet as a square reference to the slots in the spine. Maury
