Workshop #4
10th February 2018
Work continued at Bill T’s workshop as six builders braved the winter weather to participate in the construction of our Pilot 40. Steve M has been a great teacher and has been wonderful at bringing materials and tools (although Bill has most of the tools that were ever made!). Steve provides an explanation of what must be done, gives a demonstration, and then invites participants to have a try.
At this session we fine tuned the hull with sandpaper to ensure the planks would install in a smooth manner. Extra stringers were added and then the planking started using 1/8 x 1/2 balsa. There were some tricky parts near the bow but they will work out fine.
Next session is tentatively scheduled for March 3.
