  1. I have used the iron and the hair dryer to bend my planks but not to dry glue. This is the first I have read that. I will try it
  2. I been using a toothpick but haven't been happy with them. I will try the #11.
  3. Yes I am bending the planks. I rarely use CA. I was trying to do to many planks at once
  4. I didn't think of one at a time. I did several at a time. They are close but it's worth a try.
  5. A problem I am having is gluing. By the time I get to one end of placing glue on the bulkheads the end I started on has dried more than I would like. I have been using Gorilla Wood Glue and a little bit of CA. Does anyone have any suggestions? Perhaps I need a glue that doesn't dry as fast
  6. Yes. It is glued and I had to choose the lesser of two weevils. It's poorly cut and I am not the only one to get it like this. So much for laser cut accuracy. A more talented guy could have fit it by sanding or filing but I ain't that guy. It's Chuck's pinnace from our old friend model shipways
  7. I'm following the tick marks I made. When I do that the garboard extends to the point in the picture. It doesn't "appear" to be riding up the stem. If it did ride up some could I compensate for that with the next strake to keep my line as straight as possible?
  8. I'm thinking about the strake that snubs into the rabbet and what difference if any that makes.
  9. Do I begin ticking from the keel upwards or the sheerline down?
  10. Is it advisable to shave down only one edge of a plank? It seems to me it is but I don't know. Thanks.
