Just remember when you add the second layer to the wales, that as the wales approach the stem they taper their thickness until the wale is the same thickness as the regular planks at the stem. They no longer stand proud of them. You may want to taper the first layer a bit so that the second layer doesn’t become tapered paper thin. In other words taper both layers equally to obtain the finale thickness where they meet the stem. I would wait until you have the lumber you need to figure out how you want to achieve the taper.
Chuck stated he overlooked this detail and had to go back to correct it. I know he did it deliberately to make him look as if he is a mere mortal. He’s very sneaky that way. Since the wale is painted black, it really does’t matter what type of wood you use, as long as it will take a decent finish (paint or dye).
Is your building board some type of butcher block? If so that would cost a fortune in the US.
Kurt
thanks kurt, i diddent think of that😲 yes i think am wait for the vood, but am going to use the basswood plank as an template /test planking.
and yes its a butcher block😆 but from IKEA.... and i think the cost is about 9$

ok... i have deside not to wait for the alaskan ceder lumber and started to
make the first planks for the wales using basswood strips milled down to 3/64 by 5/32 (first layer)
for the molding i yust used boxwood strips milled down to 3/64 by 1/16 (first layer)
then i have a start wile waiting for the wood😊

Hej min van, Couldn’t resist, my father’s father was Swedish, my father’s mother Norwegian. Everybody on my mother’s side Irish. I only know enough phrases and words in all three to get my butt kicked badly, except for all the Christmas phrases. Anyway your Cheerful is coming along nicely. I’m currently building her in Alaskan Cedar.
Adjo,
Kurt

Am watching your build. Looking forward to more of this project. Do you after getting the frame too this point have any tips for what you had to think on or encountered during this assembly. I purchased this semi-scratch parts project back in 2017. Have it laid out on the work table just starting to clean and prep f/rabbit.

hi Rick
before i start fairing the hull i always try to look on photo and plan it in my head as best i can ,
chuck always try to tell not to rush thrue this at this point .
am also using chuck's metod for planking the model, and at this point am using photo ... photo speeks for it self ... wel for me anyway,
i do have mistake but try always to learn from it .
this prodjekt my task is to learn more and be better to planking the hull using chuck metod .
chucks kit and parts is one of the best , so have a fun with this build 😊

i did make a time ago the main and fore lower course yard and did wat chuck instrukted to make the footropes with stirrups.
i used wire for this, but it was crapy dunn of me, so i desided to re make this .

hi am starting to do some rigging of the collars and harts for the brig syren.
the collars are 7 mm and from chuck also all the rigging line.
it calls for 0.21 rigg but it wil be 0.25 with syrens rope.
in the plans it says that it will be bobbel rope but the collars are thinn ,
so if i serv the 0.25 rope is that right with yust one ?
