Not blogged for a while as the studio has been too cold for working in (or 'in which to work').
Have been reading a bit though after having bought a couple of books. There is enough info in the both to keep the mind working for the next 20 years. I hadn't realized (ignorance really) that I would be treated to such a huge new vocabulary when I began this project. Who knows what 'spiling' is for instance. As I said enough to keep one going for ages.
The books are - How to build glued lapstrake wooden boats by John Brooks
Clinker Plywood Boatbuilding Manual by Iain Oughtred
Was in the studio today to cut out pices of 1/8" plywood for laminating for the stem and centre frame. As these don't have to be deadly accurate I used the hand circualar saw. Good job too. Cut them for the centre frame at 1 1/8" rady to plane to a finish of 7/8"
