We are back after a long silence. We took a rest, did other things and gained perspective. Now we have the largest planks scarf-joined and the lowest portside stringer steamed in place. The stringer is down at the moment for refurbishing some dangerous knotholes. We are realizing by every screw screwed and every gram of glue glued that the best tools, best wood and best glue actually saves you time and in some parts of the world, time is money so you save money as well. Okay, we uprighted to boat today and are planning on continuing with planking the sides. Here are a few pictures:
-
- Here you can see the other side of the flipped boat, the deck. Stringers will be added underneath the bow decking for support.
-
- Here is Joosep routing with earplugs and a stylish hat. We decided that our routher-ploughing is not the finest method for creating scarf joints and went for hand planing the surfaces later, which works out fine with a sharp blade.
