augie Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share #823 Posted February 2, 2014 At 350 hours into the build, it's time for an update. The second belt of planking (of 3) has been completed from the garboard on up, P/S. Since the next belt will close her up, I took the opportunity to give the inside 2 coats of diluted PVA. I like the way that seals the inside and stiffens her up prior to sanding. With the false deck in place I will obviously not be able to glue the center section but 'two outta three aint bad'. Though most of the planking is 1/8 x 1/16 basswood, I've snuck in some tapered 3/16 x 1/16 in the stern to try and minimize the need for stealers. Will definitely need about 2 drop planks up in the stem. Next will be the 'Super Bowl of Planking'......the 3rd belt. But not before the real game today. My team is in it -- GO BRONCOS!!!!!!!! I'm hoping to leave this lower hull planking a natural, lighter color then that above the wales. All depends on how this next step comes out . Should be there before Spring ---- at least according to today's Groundhog forecast.
