SteveL Posted February 15, 2022 Author Share #31 Posted February 15, 2022 Glenn I am really trying to be meticulous and moving slowly. You have given me a reminder to pay attention to the pace of my work. Thanks for looking in! Steve FrankWouts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When rounding the bulkheads more to the bow, it looks that you oversanded the upper part, but only just a bit to my eye, the upper part where later the (upper two planks) planking on it should almost hang over a little for the anchor davids? I tried to draw in your picture what I mean. But perhaps this could be an optical illusion in the photograph. I had it a lot with some left over char here and there that simulated shadows that aren't there at all. Also, I'm not sure if I'm looking at your 'Winnie 1'or 'Winnie 2'? Bit confusing, for me at least. Perhaps check with the bow cap template if you also have the form correct. It should prevent lots of headaches later on. If not quite the shape, now you can still correct it by adding a little strip or some filler and sand back to the correct shape .

SteveL Posted February 15, 2022 Author Share #33 Posted February 15, 2022 Frank I believe it is ok per the template but I will certainly double check that area. Thanks so much for your attention. Steve FrankWouts and Ryland Craze 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveL Posted February 16, 2022 Author Share #34 Posted February 16, 2022 Finishing the counter planking. Using it to test the tarring method between planks since my method on Winnie 1 was too dark. This time I once again just darkened one side of a joint but with a much lighter pressure on the no.2 pencil. I believe this did the trick. After applying some WOP After sanding to shape. Hopefully this is about right. The bow section after fairing inside to 3/32. Looks really thin, I can see now why some people provide extra wood in this area for stability.

SteveL Posted February 16, 2022 Author Share #35 Posted February 16, 2022 Well, the adventure continues. After re-reading the instructions I realized that bulwarks are faired to 5/32” and not 3/32” 🙄. Fortunately I faired a small section of the bow only and am now building the thickness back with 1/16 ply. I have no idea how all this will turn out. scrubbyj427, rafine, FrankWouts and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
