Post 23 : Central Planking
I have now completed the installation of the Deck furniture and the central planking.
I made sure that the various units matched the deck camber by attaching a piece of sandpaper to the deck and moving the item back and forth:
I made sure that he items were correctly placed by using a jig made from thick card:
The planking around these items took some time but seems to be OK now:

Post 22: Margin Planks
I have been away from the workshop for a bit but the caprails and margin planks are now complete. The margin planks were difficult until I established a technique for fabricating these. several attempts ended up in the bin. They are not in Chuck's league but are as good as I could get them.

False Deck and Caprails
It took me a couple of goes to get a reasonable fit for the false deck
Then the bulwarks were planked and painted
And finally the caprails added in three pieces
I am not sure why the stern here looks so dirty. This must be something to do with the lighting I used because it is quite clean in fact.

Chuck,
Another question if I may. Looking ahead, I notice that the plan for the forward hatch has 7X7 but in your log looks like 8X8. This makes it fit close to five planks but I guess if I have mine 7 X 7 then I just need to use a wider plank after the first five to allow for the notch. There seems to be a butt join just after that hatch so it shouldn't be too bad. It looks like I am going to need to use wider planks for the hooked scarphs as well. Is this correct? I have plenty of 3/16 now but not much wider stuff so I mustn't wast it if I don't need to.

Chuck,
Thank you for your kind words. I am preparing for deck planking now. Does this curve look about right.
I have not done curved planking before and am looking forward to it.

I have now completed the planking. Not in Chuck's league by any means - there are a few places where the planks could be tighter but on the whole it looks OK. Its all a learning exercise for me.
Time to move on to the treenails now

bartley got a reaction from Bob Cleek in good approximation of marine red ocre color?
I used to buy these sample pots as well but eventually I found that the coarse pigments in house paint resulted in a "grainy finish". I now bite the bullet and pay the money for model paints such as Valejo and I believe the finish is superior.

bartley got a reaction from mtaylor in Planking mistake, any ideas?
When you redo this you could adjust a couple of other things apart from the length of the planks. I notice that you also have a "pointed" plank. This would never be done in practice s it would be a source of leakage. Planks should never be tapered to more than half of their full width. This is caused largely because your last six planks could be tapered a bit more but also because your garboard finishes a bit too far forward. If you finish it a bit further aft that will avoid crowding of the next four planks. The ones after that look OK ( except of course they need to be extended into the rabbet). You could probably finis the garboard not far forward of that join between the stem and the keel.

Here is an example. My shop can produce a variety of effects. for example the negative of this (brass writing on a black background)

Yes, Reklein, this is exactly what I do. I draw up the plaque in Illustrator, save it as an eps file and the sports trophy shop etches it on a brass plate for about A$20.
