More stringers
notching the frame
keeping the cutout bits to use as templates for the other side
much measuring and marking to get these shapes
using ropes and clamps to get the stringers to seat well

More stringers and 💃filleting💃yoga💃😊
It is amazing how strong this little boat is going to be, 20mm plywood bottom, 10mm plywood sides, 8mm decks, stem 6 cm/60mm (there is only one 3cm thick piece of the stem glued on at the moment, another piece will be glued on after the plywood sides are glued on) and all epoxy glassed !!!
Today the 70mm sheer clamp stringers - scarf joints were glued up
The fillets just finish off the glue joint neatly
Cutting stringer slots, chiseling, glueing and filleting
- repeat, repeat
the process of fitting the stringers is a longer process than you think, the bonus is that the structure stiffens up hugely with the glued stringers, I think the fillets are reasonably good.
one bow fillet glued, one joint ready to be glued
framing fillet
bow fillet sanded , one unsanded , still to be done
