Planking continues but rain interrupts play
Today planking for the aft hull sections was cut, but then it started raining which means that we could not epoxy pre-wet the hull panels and then glue them on , as pre wetting with unthickened epoxy has to be done outside on sawhorses as there is just not enough space inside the shop - what was reassuring is that the panels are interchangeable port to starboard
here are some updated pictures of the inside filleting
I am going to use a spirit level to check the bevels on the hull bottom stringers on both
sides are at equal distance from the strongback -
therefore the hull bottom should be flat port to starboard
the progressive bevel from bulkheads D to E (it looks like there is a bump but thats an illusion) it has a changing shape the whole length of the hullside that I cannot see could be achieved with a power plane, for me a hand plane is an indispensable tool for boatbuilding
