Also, the bit at the bottom of the boat at the stern that forms a seamless joint between t'ransom to the outer hog. We have moved on from planking to a bit of woodwork. If you thought the planking was slowgoing and hard work, prepare for some long gaps between blogs. This is the bit that moves from fitting kit prepared planks to a jig, to a more freehand approach to boat building.
Here is a picture of our first bit of real woodwork.
Having decided to paint the hull, the glue blobs will disappear. And we'll give it a bit more of a rub with the sandpaper.
All the concerns we had about it looking a bit bulbous around the stern have been allayed by this little block of wood. This really makes the difference. Unfortunately, Chris won't let me glue one to his head, so he still looks a tad bulbous.
Looks good though, doesn't it.
