capdegat Posted April 16, 2023 #1 Posted April 16, 2023 (edited) As there are already 3 excellant blogs foing on for this build I will keep my meager attempts to some pictures ,comments and questions. First thing is i have never planked a baby whale before but even worse is having to sand it . My fingers feel rougher than the sandpaper . I find that in my old clumsy way ,MDF is extremely fragile ! Still some sanding to do and my planking comes from the school of doing before thinking😁 I have now approaching the second level of 4 wales and in the manual James states that the bottom 3 should be tapered but as far as i can see on the drawings they are not . Is there a right or wrong way please ? Edited April 16, 2023 by James H title correction. BenD, RossR, dunnock and 10 others 12 1 Quote
James H Posted April 16, 2023 #2 Posted April 16, 2023 Lovely work so far. That looms real clean! For the wale tapering, I did this fore and aft, and not by too much. It was something done for aesthetics that Chris suggested I do. It isn't represented on the plans, to my knowledge. Mr Whippy and mtaylor 2 Quote SAY NO TO PIRACY.

Oldsalt1950 Posted April 16, 2023 #3 Posted April 16, 2023 Looks really good so far. That is a lot of hull to plank and sand.
