There is only one way to find out....give it a try. The proof is in the pudding. Why not just make some and post pics of your results. Any thread has the potential to be very good. But the only way to know for sure is to give it a try.

That looks so much better !!! Nice fix. Just slow down and take your time with each step. With the planking especially....each strake is its own project. Bend and twist them until you get a good fit. No gaps!!! Chuck

Very nice work. Good to see a rudder not too far away from the stern post. Nice!!!

Hows this build progressing. Any progress?? Chuck

That looks excellent. Well done.

Much better.....well worth the effort.

Honestly i dont recommend them for the deck at all. I would stick to to smallish size treenails for the hull using a #77 or even #78 drill bit.

That should be fixed if possible. Remove those fillers and try to reposition. That will give you fits later on. Chuck

So have you started making sawdust yet? What are you working on at the moment.

Nicely done Tom

That looks very good. Nice right joints. Remember to protect it from dirt and keep your hands clean. This cedar can get dirty fast unless you really try hard to keep it clean and crisp.

Looks great. The taper is gradual so line 2 is better. Avery gradual taper. Not an obvious one that goes quickly from thin to 1/4” thick if that makes sense.

I have sanded and poly’d and sanded and poly’d many times over. It will be fine. But to protect the stem at this point. You might consider covering it with protective painters tape. Something low tack to stop it from getting dirty and dented and scratched.

Its the part of the two cheeks that are on the stem. They have the scrolls on the forward end.

Its somewhat important as it will establish your plank run and port position. Just draw a straight line to the other side along the BH edge. And use that for placement.
