Looks good!
Thank you. We have family coming in and out of town this week, so I'm afraid that the shipyard will be empty of workers for this week.

Great job fixing the sheer plank!
Thanks, there is a gap between the plank and the stem. I think some wood filler may be in order.

Creating that rolling bevel was probably the hardest thing for me to do on the Dory. The strakes are so thin that it is definitely quite a challenge.
I didn't go back far enough on the planks. But everything is secure and I'll remember it for the next model. There is a lot more forgiveness in the build process than I anticipated.

All part of the learning curve! Things look good, though.
Thanks, though I see all the imperfections. But, I remember an old Navaho woman once telling me that only the gods are perfect so we must place imperfections in our art work so as not to offend them.

That's correct. I had a large magnet, but it attracted the clamps and almost ripped the planking apart. So saw it was.
