jks1981 Posted October 16, 2015 #1 Posted October 16, 2015 Not my first wooden boat build, but first in many many years.... Managed to secure the deck down with no clamping other than the pins provided.

jks1981 Posted October 21, 2015 Author #2 Posted October 21, 2015 Started planking. Doing the hull before the deck, not sure if there's any reason not to... I don't have the proper tools so I'm making do with what I have and using the pins that came with the kit to hold the planks to the bulkheads.

captainbob Posted October 21, 2015 #3 Posted October 21, 2015 I.ve always liked the Gjoa. So I'll be looking over your shoulder. Bob Quote Every build is a learning experience.

jks1981 Posted November 12, 2015 Author #4 Posted November 12, 2015 Using only wood glue and working full time so planking is coming along slowly, pretty much one plank a day. Also trying to choose the green paint that will be used on the hull later..

jks1981 Posted November 12, 2015 Author #6 Posted November 12, 2015 Thanks Bob! A couple wavy planks in there I'm hoping a little sanding will eliminate. I'm not calculating any of the tapering so we'll see what happens as I near the keel. captainbob 1 Quote ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Current: Hermione La Fayette - Artesania Latina 1:89 Previous: Gjoa - Constructo 1:64
