    What a great opportunity to make another planking video!😄 Steve

    Is it Alaskan yellow cedar? Both look good. Steve

    Wood project source is very good also. http://www.woodprojectsource.com/ Steve

    Why did you remove the bracing before planking? Steve
  5. Tigersteve
    Always making it look easy, which we all know is not the case. Great work. Steve

    Nice revision on the transom. Steve

    You've made quick progress. I'm in. Steve

    Two planks remain on each side of the hull. A rough sanding was done with 180 grit sandpaper. More sanding with progressively finer grits of sandpaper is needed later and filling. Even hard maple gets gets thin enough to become transparent! My planking still needs work. Steve

    The structures came out great. I like the idea of one door kept open. Steve

    Very nice. Steve

    Wow and wow again! Steve

    I suggest sanding as smooth as possible first, then fill, then sand again. You can mix the sawdust from the basswood with white glue to create the filler. Mix the glue and sawdust until it's a paste consistency. Just a tip that has worked for me. Steve

    Good luck. I'm in. Steve

    Best of luck. It is a difficult kit, but you've made good progress. Steve

    Good plan! Steve

    Ed, I for one am definitely appreciative of your writing style and greatly looking forward to how it all comes together in volume 3. Steve

    Well worth the wait. Best Syren on the block. Steve

    Thanks for the compliment, Ken. It's just a small clamp that came with a set I bought a while ago. Here's a link to a similar set. HyperTough 8-Piece Hobby Clamp Set https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01AFHANF4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_QGCMzbV3GR569 Steve

    Looks great. I agree to your solution of removing the planks. Steve

    Gary, Regarding the size of this one v. Brig Syren- I have the same thought! As large as it is, it will still take up less space! Steve
