Isaiah Posted May 18 Author Share #31 Posted May 18 Log #6: first planks The first three planks on each side have been placed. I’m trying to slowly get the bow ends to curve upwards to achieve a more natural bend, then I can start reducing the edge bending and tapering. I used Chucks edge bending method using the iron, works perfectly.

Pitan Posted May 19 Share #32 Posted May 19 That looks like good progress. I'm intrigued by your edge bending tool, haven't seen one of those before.

It’s just an angle bracket cut in half with a slightly curved side, just need something the same thickness as the planks. If that’s what you’re talking about.

chris watton Posted May 19 Share #35 Posted May 19 In all honesty, you do not need edge bending tools - the first planking is only 1mm thick, you can wet it and induce the curves you want using your finger and thumb mgatrost, Pitan, Ryland Craze and 3 others 6 Quote Vanguard Models on Facebook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isaiah Posted May 31 Author Share #40 Posted May 31 (edited) Log #8: finishing and sanding first layer planks Here is the first layer planking completed. Much better result than my perseverance with little sanding and filling required.

Isaiah Posted Thursday at 11:01 AM Author Share #50 Posted Thursday at 11:01 AM Log #10: Completing the first band The first of three bands is done. I’m really happy with the result so far. The wood strips are not even comparable to the ones from the Perseverance, makes it so much more enjoyable. Since the hull will be painted I will just use stealers for the stern.
