While I was cutting strips for planking, I noticed that 3mm thickness wood strips were not easy to bend over the bulkheads. I wasn't interested in steam-bending them so that's why. I'll try to start a log and post pictures of how I'm progressing. A log would be nice. Usually dipping the plank in boiling water for a minute is sufficient to bend the them. The thicker plank allows you a bit more to sand off to finish the hull. Good luck I would like to see some pics as you progress. Allan. robert952 1 Models finished: Too many to list. Current build.

JerryC Posted January 27, 2023 #34 Posted January 27, 2023 I just ran across this topic, looking for a way to taper deck planks, and when I tried to look at the booklet, all I get is the first page. All subsequent pages are blank. I’m using an iPad with current software. robert952 1
alpayed Posted January 28, 2023 Author #35 Posted January 28, 2023 Hi Jerry. I just downloaded it again and no problems. I am not sure what the problem is. Maybe someone else has an answer. Regards Allan robert952 1 Models finished: Too many to list. Current build. Danmark (kit bash)
Photog Posted April 23, 2023 #36 Posted April 23, 2023 Hi Allan, Lots for me to absorb and a big thank you for sharing your knowledge and book. A wee question if I may? how do you do those wonderful ropes? robert952 1
alpayed Posted April 24, 2023 Author #37 Posted April 24, 2023 Hi Photog. I use a rope walk which I made years ago. I like to use rayon to make ropes as it does not make ropes with fuzz on them. robert952, oakheart and Photog 3 Models finished: Too many to list. Current build. Danmark (kit bash)
