    plywood bulwarks

    in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck

    Posted

    Hi everyone,

    I'm at the step to install the bulwarks on my ship, they get wide at the stern and need to be bent and twisted to fit around the deck, since they're made of plywood do all the techniques of bending wood hull planks apply or is there a better way to bend and twist around a pretty tight curve. This is my first build and so far I am really enjoying the hobby. Any tips that would help would be appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Dennis

    Hi,

    I'm starting my first wood model the OCCRE Palamos and I'm setting some of the tools I need, one that was suggested was the latino nail nailer which I ordered. What I'm not sure of is what nails are used with this tool (size etc.) for planking the hull to hold the planks in place while gluing. I am a beginner and new to the forum and also would like to say Hello to everyone

    any information would be appreciated.
