A dash of CAD

Our stem redesign is proving to be not as effortless as initially believed. Since we can’t go to the workshop on the weekend I spent some time building a CAD model in Solidworks of what we’re trying to do. Kind of an overkill, sure, but it never hurts to think more before cutting. We will need to adjust the forward bulkhead so that the top stringers run nicely.

As a side note – anybody have any tips on where to get relatively knot-free timber for stringers?

    How did you make the boards curve properly in SolidWorks?
