Taking my time with this. I’m continuing with the system of measuring down five plank widths from the last walnut plank fitted, at mid ships, then fitting a temporary lime plank, allowing it to follow its natural path over the curves of the hull. I draw a line along the lime plank, then remove it. I then plank up to that line, tapering planking proportionally, towards the stern and bow.
I’m happy with the plank bending tool. I’ve learned to give it a good 20 minutes to heat up before use.
