Photo 17, the hull removed from the building jig
Begin fitting the shutter planks at the
bow. Sand both edges of the plank
until it fits at the bow. Continue
along the length fitting a little at a
time until the whole plank will drop
in. The planking is done, time to sit
back and admire your work.
You may wish to rough sand the hull
at this point while it is still attached to
the building jig. Remove the pins
from the transom and the dowel from
the stem alignment blocks. Using
your knife, work the blade in between
the frames and the molds and pop the
spot glued frames from the molds. If
you have not glued the hull to the
building jig somewhere the hull
should easily come away from the
building jig.
