OK, as promised, I'm launching my own thread for my build.
So far, I've cut out framing pieces from some Red Cedar, tried to shape a stem, cut out the transom and BHDs 2 and 3.
My goal is to do a little each day. That way, I'll eventually finish, right? :;
Sorry, no pics yet. Really very little to show so far. I have already made several mistakes, but as far as I am aware, I have caught them before translating them from marks on wood in kindling. Last night was the latest--my eldest son and I carefully measured out the front-seat top, sprung the batten to the curve and marked our lines, 15mm outside the true lines for cutting as prescribed.
But we forgot to allow 50mm at the stern. So tonight, I will go down to the garage and redo what we did yesterday. Fortunately, we only measured and marked yesterday. We didn't cut.
Anyway, my first question for the gallery is this:
Next on my list is marking out the bottom panels (I want to mark out the bottom panels so I can then get the two remaining bulkheads from the same sheet of ply).
BUT ... The ply is 2500mm, not 2440. So, should I be concerned about where the butt joints fall on the bottom? Should I move the stern forward on the ply so the joint stays where it is on the plan, or keep the station lines where they are, and let the butt joint land farther forward in the boat?
Same question applies to the side panels I suppose.
Am I just overthinking it all again?
I will definitely try to enliven this thread with some photographic evidence in coming posts. As I said to my son last night, don't worry. Before we're done, we'll have made _all_ the mistakes. The other doozy this week was a mishap trying to resaw a 2x piece of Doug fir for the transom reinforcement. Maybe more on that later.
