Two Planks At a Time

This entry was posted on 11/28/2006 10:43 PM and is filed under Assemble Planks from Components.

The side planks are done and I'm now able to do two planks at the same time.  Since curing time is 24 hours for full strength, doing two at a time is really moving things along.


The vaka bilge plank is on the right and the vaka bottom plank is on the left.  If things go as planned I'll do the matching planks for these two and I'll be done with all the vaka planks.

This method of joining the planks is working well and seems fast and accurate.  If I had to do actual scarf joints I'd be a lot slower.
