Ronald-V Posted September 20 Author Share #243 Posted September 20 Lining off the deck...just pretending to know what I'm doing . It seems to be about the same process as with the hull. First, mark out the bands with tape. The difficult part here is to get them really symmetrical. This took quite some time, but I think it looks good. The curve it needs is a guess. I have a wide band of 7 planks on both sides and a narrow one with 3 planks that disappear at the ends in a hook scarph joint. (not sure if it's the right spelling lol) The rest now is the same process as with the hull...so looking forward how this proceeds I did notice a big difference with the hull that on the deck the planks go nicely linear from wide to narrow. And with the hull you had a kind of wave movement in some places. rcweir, wvdhee, FrankWouts and 12 others 13 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronald-V Posted yesterday at 02:31 PM Author Share #247 Posted yesterday at 02:31 PM (edited) Update: First curved band on port side planked. In advance I thought it would be something very difficult, but so far it has not been that difficult. Because I had already planked the hull this was easier. Also because it is 2 dimensional compared to the hull where the plank has to bend in 3 dimensions. Perhaps planking a curved deck is a good primer/exercise to then try the hull. The measuring etc. is similar. The caulking is a bit difficult to see because I had very lightly sanded it to try polish away the pencil lines a bit, but that also makes the lines less visible now (and the lines are still there lol). It will come to the fore later when I varnish it. It still needs a good sanding, but I will do that when the deck is finished. By the way, I liked making the hooked scarf planks on both sides. Now first continue with the wide band on starboard side.
