  1. Hello guys,
    In this tutorial I'm gonna share my way to determine the shape of 2nd planking hull:
     
    Prepare some pieces of A3 Paper (297mm x 420mm / 11.7’’x16.5’’), a paper cutter, 
    a ruler, a measuring tape (or any flexible ruler/ thread) , and masking tape.
     
    measure the distance from the deck to the keel at the widest point. This is x.
    the length from stem to stern at the widest point is y.

    cut the paper into strips, and the size of the paper strip is:
    width = the width of plank, 
    length = y
    and the amount of the paper strips = x/ the width of plank

    Cutting out the plank follow the shape of each paper strip.

    Hello? anybody home?

  2. The plywood is cheap, but it can't touch water. There’s one safe way to Bend those kits made by Plywood:

    using steam-bending. 

     

    1. put it into a food steamer

    2. steam above water for 10 minutes

    3. Bending the Curve.

    But if the thickness of plywood less than 4 mm, using an iron(put a wet cloth under it)

    Bending the plywood while it is hot.
