Workshop #3
4th November 2017
On November 4th nine of our members met again at Bill Turner’s wonderful workshop to continue the building of the fishing boat Scarbh and the Pilot 40. By now the frames have been cut and trimmed to lock properly into the keel. Steve spent some time explaining in detail how to be careful with this step so you can save plenty of work down the road trying to straighten things out.
We talked about planking and the methods to be used including adding blocks to the bow and stern thus adding strength while easing the planking job.
The frames will now be attached to the building board and then planking can start.
If you have not been to one of the sessions it’s not too late to start. The Pilot 40 is underway but there is still lots to learn about the hull completion and the building of the superstructure. We have not begun the Scarbh yet although it should start next time.
Watch your e-mail for the schedule.
