rudybob Posted March 4, 2023 #1 Posted March 4, 2023 Is it advisable to shave down only one edge of a plank? It seems to me it is but I don't know. Thanks.
barkeater Posted March 4, 2023 #2 Posted March 4, 2023 If you are talking about tapering a hull plank, then yes. Also put the tapered edge against the already done course of planks and leave the unshaved plank free. Doing it this way lets you know if your taper is clean of bumps or dips rather than find out that you need to redo or touch up the shaved edge after you've glued it in place.

Look at the article on planking here at MSW in the articles database by David Antscherl. https://thenrg.org/resources/Documents/articles/APrimerOnPlanking.pdf If you are edge setting the planks, working on one side as Richard suggests could very well be a better way to go.
