Fundysnapper Posted January 20 Author #2 Posted January 20 Templates cut now to mark the waterline, centerline, rabbet, rail line and the knuckle. Then sanding to fit.
Fundysnapper Posted January 21 Author #3 Posted January 21 Ok I think I am ready to dive in. I have read the manual and had a good look at the plans. Templates cut wood strips and blocks sorted and labelled. I also made a kind of template for the station lines on a piece of masking tape. Simplifies the marks instead of all of the lines on the plans. Next step is to make a block to attach to the deck so I can put it in a vice. Which I just ordered from Amazon. Then start marking station lines, rabbet line and waterline. yvesvidal and Ryland Craze 2

capnharv2 Posted January 21 #6 Posted January 21 I’m just finishing mine (which I started about 15 years ago). I don’t know how much help I can be, but I’ll enjoying watching! Please ask if I can be of assistance! Thanks! HarveyI yvesvidal, Fundysnapper and Ryland Craze 3
Fundysnapper Posted Wednesday at 06:29 AM Author #8 Posted Wednesday at 06:29 AM I don't know if I really like this solid hull. It's a lot of sanding, carving and shaping. It's coming together though. Starting to look like a ship. I think I would rather be planking. capnharv2, JacquesCousteau and yvesvidal 3
