complete planking and fit the topside up

We finally finished planking, which has taken 5 days. Seperating into 2 teams one of which cut planking the other one glued planking and fit them into situ, we actually started team working better than before.

Chris told us what we are roughly going to do further this morning. Here is a sketch representing the cross section frame. We have to round the edge and cove inside the angle. Normally, we have to avoid to make the boat has part. The cove will be fit with west 406 powder which is the best for fillet or coving.

I forgot the name of this. The picture below is the material to make this which looks like galvanised sheet but I don't know. That corrugation sit on the edge that we want to fit with another planking on it when the fitting is not quite fit and we can make this with vice and hammer. It seems like sort of an old type but a good idea anyway.

the material for above


CNC machine isn't able to make angulated edge but we can use chisel to where the chine goes on.

Chris's ribet plane and coving something(forgot the name)

I asked Chris how we fit the topside foam on the chine where the chine ends but we can do like above. Cut the thickness of chine(8mm) and sit on it. Simple.

They are old tools for laminating. One is roller with bucket of glue and a drainspout(?) and the other ones are coving sticks.

Chris demonstrated us a new method of glueing which was nice and clean. Pour glue into a plastic bag, bore a small hole in wanted bid size and squeeze it following the glueing surface.

The planking forward didn't twisted well so we had to adjust them in a way that we used clamps and some pieces of wood but it can't be said to be a perfect method because the shape forward is natural round but they make it straight.

Chine. Tick marks underneath a planking on each frame, use a batten and draw a fair line and cut it. It looks roughly yet.

Not exactly being able to see the gap between hull and topside but we had to fill the gap.

view from outside the frame on starboard. getting its shape.

Chris put sandpaper through the gap where has to be sanded and sand it.

Taking of the excess glue, we completed the planking.

Same method which is still not a perfect way

A pattern for cutting the deck foam is sitting on the deck frame.

There were only two tutors who looked after apprentices but now there are full time 7.

One reason for coving is not just strengthen the structure but also for making sure the glass goes into the angulated edge well.

The last planking is called shutter plank. We can bevel each plank next to it to let the shutter plank goes into its place easily. It was a bit hard to put it in.

The goal tomorrow
Take the nails off, sit the topside on, sand hull inside, fill gaps and holes

Next day
cut fiber glass

Next week
move on to the deck
