In tobago for a week. Plank 9 complete with no major challenge. I am looking forward to closing them up -
Well you know me by now, ive done a video on making these little monsters. If anyone is interested i can send you the post. I used Juniper, waramara to make mine. Next time i take the Sherline out ill try the Lignum vitae.

You forget that we did this on the internal planks. This would have been so much easier to do on the external planks but the book did not want us to use stealers, so we followed the book. I have to say this is the first time i shaped both ends of all the strakes for the entire hull rather than force bending them into shape and what a difference it made. I was always worried that having to finish the open side of the plank would result in irregular surface causing a difficult joint when the next row of planks was applied, but this turned out not to be so. I found that the hand plane made it very easy to prepare a nice smooth line on the exposed side of the plank.

Alan, i have since tapered the wooden end even more as i was having difficulty getting it close enough to the rudder post.

Your ability to line up and cut the recesses for the carlins is so accurate and is excellent. Can you describe the process. Kevin

Nice clean work

Challenging to get the end pieces to bend perfectly. I pre bent the pieces off the model then I had to make up a push jig to hold the end into the stern. It worked thank goodness.

Thats what i figured. I used this system with the first set of planking. I did not feel that it mattered with strake 1-5. But fair enough. Ill do it for the last two bands

What do you mean by tick strip. Is this a piece of sticky paper laid against the frames?

Looking great
